I tore down and cleaned my Pietta Remington '58 and after reassembly I found that the cylinder doesn't always rotate when cocked.
I took it back apart thinking the hand spring was broken, but it wasn't.
After reassembly it still doesn't always rotate the cylinder.
I often have a hard time getting the hand into the slot so that I can pull the hammer to the point where the screw can be placed in there. I isn't force anything, but I had used a small screwdriver to wiggle around in there.
It seems like it'll usually rotate if I cock it with authority, but it doesn't always work.
Any suggestions?
