Looking for Mustang Parts
2/6/2012 5:05:20 PM
I was given a .380 Colt Mustang and it's in pretty rough shape. Anyone know of an online
shop I can get some replacement parts?

Send it to Colt. The new Mustang's parts can be swapped between the 2, plus they can do a service check up and see if the recall was done on it. I had it done to my Mustang and they did not charge me anything.
Give them a call and tell them there was a recall on the original Mustang's and what else you need done, they will tell you where to send it. They will let you know how much before any work is done and I think you have to pay before any work is done.

Sounds like a good idea. For future reference is there a place to order parts online?

What was the nature of the recall? Do we know a serial number range or anything else to indicate which guns?

This is all I found on the net. I brought mine to the Colt factory and they did the recall and gave her a tune up for free
COLT
380 AUTO CALIBER, SEMIAUTOMATIC PISTOL
RECALL: We are incorporating a safety improvement on all Colt 380 semiautomatic pistols that we are now manufacturing. We are offering this same opportunity to all owners of Colt 380 semi-automatic pistols free of charge.
It has come to our attention that the sear spring may be bent in some Colt 380 autos. Where this occurs there is a possibility that the sear spring will become unseated from the base of the receiver which could result in accidental discharge.
To hold the sear spring in place, Colt will send you a 380 Auto improvement kit, which includes a spring clip and instructions for attaching the clip to the sear spring. Once the spring clip is installed the sear spring cannot come loose. This is a simple but effective safety modification.
This important message applies to all Colt 380 autos in the current series first introduced in 1982. If a spring clip has already been installed, it will appear in the magazine well as a yellow piece of metal attached to the sear spring.
To obtain the spring clip we ask that all owners of Colt 380 semiautomatic pistols contact us now by calling our special toll-free number below, available Monday through Friday between 8 AM and 5 PM, Eastern Time. Colt will send you a spring clip and complete instructions for quick, easy installation. There is no charge for this service. In the meantime we urge that you do not use your Colt 380 auto until you make this change.
Colt endeavors to manufacture firearms of the highest quality. We also continue to serve our motto, A tradition of safety.
