So I got some new jewelry for the Colt and think I may have made it full auto

In my mind any LEO worth his salt would make a difference between a firearm deliberately assembled as a FA, and one that is either incorrectly assembled (happens) or has a part that breaks which ends up making the firearm accidentally go FA. As long as the owner genuinely seeks to correct the problem, I fails to see an issue. I can think of several types of firearms that would go FA is a sear was to snap, which does happen. No intent, no crime, at least in my mind.

if it can happen in the USA, you'd better be damn sure that it can happen here in canada, and to you!

Sorry, I just get a little worked up when I think about good people getting nailed for bulls**t crimes. I didn't mean to crap on your thread, and I'm glad you got useful advice. I just think it's better to err on the side of caution when discussing things like this. Our laws and the some of the people enforcing them are screwed up enough that people are being charged and having their guns taken away for mere mistakes like yours (unsafe storage, anyone?).
As for the Μολὼν λάβε tough guy crowd, if you are so confident phone the RCMP right now and tell them you've accidentally assembled your handgun in a way that makes it fire full auto and ask what you should do. Record the call and post it here. Do you think they will say: (a) send it to a gunsmith, (b) try fixing it yourself or (c) what is your name again?
Yeah... that's what I thought.
Dude, most RCMP members know less about guns then I do. I would have asked my question and would have expected to hear "Whats a Colt"?????
*MMkay, if your going to infract me for saying the above, can I just get a one-pointer? I've already got 4 and a major would put me over. MMkay, thanks*
Thread tagged to remind me not to buy an modified 1911 off you in the EE.
With all the 1911 info available on the internet, there is no reason to be :

And a little knowledge.
I can't believe how many threads are on this site dealing with people who take stuff apart when they have absolutely no idea what they are doing.
Yet they act totally amazed when the gun does not work anymore and is unsafe to shoot.
Pile of idiots is my opinion.
Take it to a gunsmith and get back a gun that is safe to shoot.
A few years back I was at the local police range when a citizen that had a range pass was there test shooting a 1911 in .38 Super he had been doing a "trigger job" on. Looked like he had gone a bit too far with his work on the sear as it went full auto on him. Luckily, he had only been loading 3 rounds in his mags in test of his work. He tried out a couple more mags and sure enough, full auto each time.
Interestingly, there were a few off duty cops present, but no one did anything more than suggest he get a new sear for his pistol & start over. No one called the local RCMP about it. No one got all worked up over the issue. Buddy went home and a couple weeks later his 1911 was all fixed and running properly when he got his replacement part(s). Funny, that....

You are such a bulls**tter. I studied this case in case law. Isn't this the one where the off duty cops shriveled into old donuts, too afraid to combat the full auto and they RCMPeed themselves? One activated his direct panic line to then opposition leader Stephan Dion who came crashing in wearing a Canadian flag for a cape with a tactical team of volunteer, unpaid, unarmed Auxiliaries who hurled Canadian Topping combo Pizzas at the accused. The accused fell to the ground from the stinging of pineapple in his eye (why the f**k is pineapple on 'Canadian' pizza anyway) and Stephan Dion used an UNREVISED non-pocket edition of the Criminal Code to subdue the accused. The arrest didn't make headlines because the guy wasn't a real criminal and Dion wasn't a real hero.
The end.
Gee, I don't believe how many posts you can make with your foot firmly implanted in you mouth... I guess you've never heard about glass houses...
Some people actually have learned that although they have an opinion it's not required that it be shared with everyone...
People don't learn things by doing nothing... But I'm guessing you believe they can...
