This model of the 1858 Remington seems to be a good quality piece at first look, till I cycled the action. The hammer is hanging up on the frame at the fireing pin. Screws were loose, and someone peened the front of the frame to fit the cylinder. I e-mailed Texas Jack whom I ordered it from, and was advised I should send it back to their gunsmith at Six Shooters! I was advised that if it were the manufacturer's fault, they'd fix and return it to me. But, if not--I'd be billed $35 bench time, and repairs+ return shipping. This doesn't seem right to me! Granted, it's been a long time since I bought a black powder revolver, but I would have thought someone would have inspected it before shipping it out to me? Or do I have it all wrong? Thanks.
