I called them today because I think that my bolt catch is bad. I just bought the gun and the bolt catch won't lock the blolt back. I have had several people to look a the rifle for me and they all say the sa,mner thing.

Colt wants me to ship the gun in for a piece that cost $10-$15, I could install the piece myself. What should I do?

If I send the rifle to them, I don't know when I will ever see it again.

Fix it youself or get a local smith to do it.
