    help with my umarex colt government a1?

    I got a s/h colt a few days ago.
    When it arrived i realised the guy had disconected the saftey by removing a little plate.
    This means when i try and shoot the gun with the hammer pulled back it jams.
    Can anyone tell me how to reconect the saftey or send me a link on how to do so?

    Cheers.

    I suggest you get onto the guy who sold it to you if he didn't mention this fault assuming that you bought it as a fully working pistol.

    **Was going to suggest ask Nick but he turned up**

    If you get it to the point where you have the gun apart and post a photo I have a couple in bits on the table, I'll take some detail shots of how the bits should be.

    i went to my local range and got the pistol working perfectly after giving it a good oil with napier power gun oil.
    great little gun once it is going.

    just need to buy a new sight for it now.

    cheers anyway for the help.

    do you know any other places that sells them because there are none in stock?

    would the beretta sight fit on the colt?

    cheers

    You could get a rail adapter instead and then you can put a red dot sight on your gun.

    the Colt, Beretta and CP88 std rear sights are slightly different designs but will all fit each gun,
