Smith Enterprise Colt SAA replacement parts

We have reviewed these products in Bullet 'N Press before, so this is really just a reminder to all you gunsmiths and tinkerers that the replacement Base Pins, Base Pin Bushings, Bolts and Firing Pins that Ron Smith is manufacturing for the Colt Single Action Army 1st and 2nd generation guns are the very best quality we have ever had in our hands.

Understand that I am not comparing Smith's new parts to replica parts or to aftermarket parts but rather to the best parts that were available before these Smith Enterprise manufactured parts came along, namely: original Colt factory made parts. Fact is, I thought so much of their high quality that these parts, along with darned few others are recommended and featured in several places in my new book "Gunsmithing Guns of the Old West". They are wonderfully made in all respects and absolutely reliable.
