Colt Automatic Caliber .25 (Junior?)

[Larry69RT]

I recently purchased Colt Automatic Caliber .25 manufactured in 1973. Research indicated there may be a firing pin problem.
Can anyone enlighten me as to exactly what the problem is, the consequences and or corrective remedies?
Thanks

Larry,

Here's a copy of the ad that was run by Colt regarding the accidental discharge problem. It applies to some Colt .25s from 1957 - 1973 with "cc" serial number suffix and "od" serial number prefix.



The print is small but I hope this helps.

Once again the expertise of a ColtForum member came through. Thank you Sam Lisker of ColtAutos.com

I wonder if Colt is still doing the corrective action?

I'll give them a call Monday and post their answer.

I talked to Colt today, if the modification has already been done, there will be a "M" stamped inside the ejection port. The modification is not needed on all .25's. (apparently the .22's don't need it) If you call them with your S#, Colt will check it and if the mod is needed they're still doing it at no charge. Just ship it to them with your name and address and ask them to check it for the recall.

Jim, what's the deal with the paper work that Colt sent you? When I talked to their rep I was told just to send it in and ask that it be checked for the recall. Nothing was said about any required paper work first.
