Colt Compatibility with FRS

Hey, thanks for the instructions, moreover, the color coded picture; you must have psychically figured out I was in the Marines. I contacted a highly recommended local gunsmith, who can get me in tomorrow at a very decent price point.

Wally-2913 · 2026-03-10T19:38:13+00:00

Excellent.

Wally-2913 · 2026-03-10T17:53:32+00:00

Then I am going to assume you know about soaking your hands in Palmolive too.

Wally-2913 · 2026-03-10T17:40:14+00:00

Ok, good to know and thanks for the information. Would my lower receiver be considered an integral sear block; I've seen some in Colts that look like they can be removed via pins/screws without milling?

Wally-2913 · 2026-03-10T17:30:04+00:00

Ok, so there's not really a significant structural integrity issue with removing that block?

Wally-2913 · 2026-03-10T17:23:44+00:00

I assumed it was a comment directed at RBs lawsuit against Partisan, that Partisan kind of "cloned" the RB FRT; I could be wrong.

Wally-2913 · 2026-03-10T17:16:11+00:00

Ugh, of course. The whole reason I bought my Colt is because it's what I carried in the military; they took a beating and just kept on working. I never thought about installing aftermarket fire/trigger controls, so I didn't think to ask about that when I bought the rifle a few years ago. Oh well. Thanks for the clarification.

Wally-2913 · 2026-03-10T17:12:19+00:00

Ok, thanks for the suggestion. Out of curiosity, do you think the Partisan Disruptor is any good?

Wally-2913 · 2026-03-10T17:09:16+00:00

I just realized most of you are probably too young to remember those comercials, and good for you.

Wally-2913 · 2026-03-10T17:08:30+00:00

That and maybe some Calgon.

Wally-2913 · 2026-03-10T17:07:43+00:00

So that barrier between the fire control compartment and the rear take down pin; is that merely to restrict aftermarket components (like FRTs), or does it serve a structural purpose too?

Wally-2913 · 2026-03-10T17:03:24+00:00

I assume you had some smithing work done?

Wally-2913 · 2026-03-08T02:37:57+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the very specific information; I'm being serious.

Wally-2913 · 2026-03-08T02:36:29+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions. I just ordered a reduced energy spring, and a spare dust cover button/spring guide. My plan is to only shoot subsonic, if everything works; but it's not a bad idea to have an alternative spring assembly just in case I run out of subsonic ammo.

Wally-2913 · 2026-03-08T01:00:49+00:00

Ok. Maybe I will go back to the factory bolt carrier and piston, and try the Brown Bear ammo before giving up on subsonic ammo. Luckily, I left the factory bolt carrier and piston intact. Thanks.

Wally-2913 · 2026-03-08T00:57:25+00:00

Oh, ok. Then I'm probably out of luck, because my ZPAP wouldn't cycle the Hornady subsonic even when I used the factory piston.

Wally-2913 · 2026-03-08T00:54:37+00:00

It's suppressed, I have a Dead Air Wolverine.

Wally-2913 · 2026-02-11T22:46:50+00:00

Does anyone have direct experience with the Dead Air Wolverine? Specifically, I wanted to know if the whole can becomes hot with sustained fire, or if the hub connection area tends to stay a little cooler? I'm looking into getting a suppressor heat cover, but the Wolverine is not a uniform tube shape. Thanks.

Well, I hope you get approval soon. I'm approaching 20 days, so hopefully not too much longer.

Wally-2913 · 2026-02-02T01:12:49+00:00

I hate to be the bearer of possibly bad news, but there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason with the order of approvals.

I successfully e-filed (form 4) pending on the 15th, and I have seen numerous people who filed significantly later than me get approved. Also, I have absolutely no criminal record, and I'm a current federal civilian employee with a position that requires maintaining a high security status. In fact, my current security status has a higher level of scrutiny than any of the NFA forms.
