Hi, I just got a new Pietta 1860 Army from Cabela's on their sale that they run periodically. Unfortunately out of the box, the hammer won't stay on full cock. I got this through the mail and I'd have to mail it back, so I'd like to avoid that hassle. I also know these things are somewhat problematic and I need to acquire some troubleshooting skills.
Any ideas on what I can do? I played with loosening the screw for the trigger and bolt spring. When I loosen that up, the trigger will catch and allow it to stay in full cock, but then the cylinder over-rotates. Seems wierd that it wouldn't work out of the box...what am I missing?
