    Anybody have any tips, tricks, or other pertinent information?

    Or, can you tell me to piss off, so I'll feel better? [:D]

    On a serious note, I'm thinking about picking one up...

    I have a Colt Woodsman, and today when I was out in the woods I didnt have occasion to shoot it, I only carry it for copperhead elimination. Thing is, when I got back out of the woods I decided I'd go ahead and fire a couple rounds. It decided it didnt want to. The thing would only cock the hammer back occasionally, consistently refused to work correctly. Puzzled me, no big deal. I brought it home, I'd heard something shake inside when I shook it, figured I'd find something obvious. I took it apart, looked at it, didnt see anything wrong. Put it back together, pulled the slide back, gun felt totally different, felt the hammer cock back. Fired it a couple times dry fire, no choice, gun works fine now. No more rattling noise either. I dont have a clue what was wrong with it. Any ideas?

    Here's a nice old Target Model Woodsman, it's been reblued, but the price is right.

    That is not bad for a working Woodsman in 60-70% condition. If it is better than that, tell him it is dangerous, send it to me and I will fix it for him.

    Tell him it has the old mainspring housing and is dangerous.
