Just received a Taylor's .45colt conversion cylinder for my Pietta NMA but its obvious that something (the hand at least?) needs adjustment. Cocking the hammer rotates the cylinder clockwise to lockup as it should, but when the trigger is pulled the bolt drops and the cylinder rotates back counter-clockwise and out of alignment with the barrel as the hammer comes down. It's apparent that the hand dragging the conversion cylinder backwards as the hammer drops, and I feel like I could probably work on that aspect just fine - but I cannot see how the cylinder bolt is dropping when the trigger is pulled to even allow the backward rotation to happen.
The bolt does not drop with the original C&B cylinder until the hammer is pulled back and with no cylinder in the gun I also cannot replicate the bolt dropping upon pulling the trigger. Even trying to press the bolt down while pushing backwards on the hand it stays up, until the R&D cylinder is installed. I've done some action tuning on my Colt repro but this NMA was my first C&B and has worked just fine as it came so I've never tinkered with it. That's obviously going to change but could use some help on where to start, thanks!
