I have a question about cylinder over rotation. I’ve done a search, but could not find a clear answer.
The pistol is a Pietta 1851 with a 45cal Kirst Konvertor.
I have marked the cylinder and ring for clarity: The first picture shows the cylinder after a slow cocking. The second picture is after cocking faster. The third photo shows the position of the cylinder after harder cocking or faster than the second photo.
If I let my hand drag the cylinder, it will always go into battery.
Question:
1: Is the hand too long?
2: Is there an issue with the bolt?
3: How do I fix the issue?
Thanks for any advise!
