Hi, folks. Need some advice. I recently bought a stainless-steel Remington 1858 replica by Navy Arms (it was a steal - shooting buddy of mine won it at a competition, didn't want it, and sold it to me for $100! ) However, I notice that the hammer-cocking pull is EXTREMELY heavy - so much so that it's almost impossible to do so with one hand, as the revolver wavers all over the place. Also, the trigger pull is too heavy for comfort. Is this normal with these guns? What can be done to reduce the weight of hammer-draw-stroke, and improve the trigger?
Also, do any of you have any experience with the conversion cylinders which allow these firearms (and Ruger Old Army's, etc.) to fire .45 Colt cartridges? I'm thinking about one of these as a fun thing, but don't know anything about them. Anyone got any feedback from personal experience?
Many thanks in advance.
