Hello revolver aficionados. I got a Pietta Great Western II Californian a little while back. No sooner than I got it and off it went to EMF for warranty service. They fixed almost everything wrong with the gun, but something still seems to be amiss with it. When I cock the hammer (four clicks) with 45 Colt snap caps, or bullets, in the chambers if I don't have the muzzle pointing down at the ground sometimes the cylinder will jam up and I will have to finesse it to get it to rotate. If I cock the hammer with the gun level it always jams on at least one or two rounds. Unloading the snap caps or shells is always a bear on at least one. I usually have to remove the base pin and take the cylinder out to get the last shell out of the chamber. No shells stick in the chamber. So, right now the solution is to cock the hammer with the muzzle pointing at the ground, then raise it up and shoot. Kind of a pain.
Is there any solution to this or is this typical for these clones?
Thanks.
