Hello all - I have 8 handguns I shoot and my favorite is a new Colt Defender in .45ACP. However I have a terrible time re-assembling after cleaning. No such with any other of my guns. Problem is with the barrel lug and the recoil spring assembly. The assembly will not remain seated in place. It slips up a small bit taking the lug out of position and the slide will then not rack properly
and the slide stop cannot be inserted. I've cleaned it after use 3 times and it has taken me all but an hour each time just to do that step. Has anyone had similar problems and if so, any tricks, techniques, prayers, voodoo rituals that have worked for you? All replies welcomed!!
