Pietta 1851's bolt is "unbolting"

Often that's caused by a rough edge on the bolt (cylinder stop ), hammer,
trigger, hand. Some side pressure on the trigger (both ways) when cocking the hammer a few times generally will take care of the problem. It often crops up when going to a conversion cylinder. The 1858 New Army revolvers do this as well. Not sure why impacting the nipples with the hammer would cause that.
If so that's a new one on me.
