Thanks Jim. The bolt is there; should I take it apart (remove the plate on the right side) and check the condition of the spring? If the spring is broken, would it still be safe to shoot? If there's no collector value, I'd like to buy a few boxes of ammo and take it to the range. This is my first old Colt and I'm pretty happy with it regardless.
