New to C&B revolvers and just bought a Pietta 1860 .44 from
Cabelas. The timing seems to be good, but the fore and aft
play of the cylinder seems excessive. Couple of questions:
Is the front of the cylinder supposed to be able to touch the
forcing cone at the extreme forward part of travel? How
much end shake is acceptable for an 1860?
Is the hammer supposed to contact the nipples without a cap
attached?
Thanks
