I just recieve the Rem58 from Cabela but I ran into a few problem with it. First the hammer screw is backing out after repeated cocking of the hammer but I think clear nail polish will take care that problem. Then the cylinder is not indexing properly and the cylinder notch is not hold by the bolt after the hammer in full cock . I strip the revolver down and discover that the hand spring is very weak and easily broke off .Now cabela has excellent customer service and I will have no problem return and exchange this revolver for the new one but my concern is about the hand spring .It appear to me that Peitta did not attempt to heat treat this part so it will be easily broke off or lost its tension (mine is last about 3 hours ) .Anyone here know the alternative source for part ? I order the part from Dixie already for my still working other Rem 58 but I would like to know other place that create good quality and properly heat treat hand and spring for the Remington 58.Should I assume the one that broke is just one defect not the entire Pietta remington 58 are defect? I have other one for about 3 years now and nothing ever go wrong with it .
