So I haven't even had my Pietta 1851 navy but for a month or two but apparently in my 4 hour shooting session yesterday that was all it took to break something. I was inspecting it tonight to make sure that I wasn't getting surface rust after cleaning and noticed all of a sudden the bolt was popping up and locking the cylinder in half cock took it apart and found this
the trigger / bolt spring has snapped. Made of really thin metal too so I wouldn't be surprised if this kinda thing happens a lot. Luckily the EMF people have me one coming in for $6 with free 2nd day air shipping. How they can make money this way idk. Anyone else find these things to break so easy? I also dunno how it worked fine while I was shooting then cleaning yesterday only to break the next day when I put it in half cock to turn the cylinder to look in the chambers
