Colt mechanics...
Hoot, sorry to say there are most likely other things wrong with that gun as well. I did the same thing a few years ago - bought a well-worn PPS for next to nothing. Crane was OK, but it was out of time due to wear on several action parts. Long story short, it is now mechanically like new, but it took over a year's worth of parts hunting, the talents of an incredibly patient and dedicated old-time gunsmith, and enough money to have bought a pretty good PPS that didn't have to be rebuilt.
The project turned out to be more trouble than it was worth. I am proud of that gun, but mainly just because it brought me the acquaintance of a very fine man in the twilight of his career.
