Received ny Colt GCT on May 1 and before 1K rounds the rear sight leaf pin broke and fell out; also the windage screw detent pin.
Called Colt and they said return and they would repair and refund my shipping cost.
That they did but after 560 rounds, the leaf pin broke again. This is the Eliason sight.
Not wanting to return to Colt again, I went through my 60 year accumulation of parts and junk and found a solid pin of the proper diameter. The original is a roll pin, .060 X 9/16" length. Mine looked good but only lasted 260 rounds; too soft I guess. Anyone have any suggestions thaat might help? I like the gun; it is accurate if I can only keep a rear sight on it. Thanks.
