After getting a new liteweight Govt 45 I wanted a 22 conversion,being most
Colt kits are 70 series,you have to make an adjustment by removing the
firing pin block from the frame,(it will be the little silver lever in the picture
near the 45 slide stop.)The bluing from the 60s era 22 slide is in SHARP
contrast to the matte finished frame.The slide stop from the 45 and
22 are different,the 22 has a "2" stamped inside,the 45 will have a "1", if
you dont use the correct stop you can damage the follower on the 22 so it
will not lock back on the last shot. Mags for the 22 can cost anywhere from
$50-$100 bucks,if you buy a kit be sure it has the "2"stamped on the slide stop. Now I have the same clean 3lb trigger pull on 2 calibers. Don't dry fire the 22 without an MT case in the chamber!Pete
