Hello everyone - long time lurker, just registered because I need some of the expert help available here.
I'm having an issue with one of my 1858's. Everything works well on it, it's timed okay (I think so), seems to be great. I am experiencing one problem, however, which may be very dangerous.
The cylinder stop on the revolver stays engaged until you begin to decock the revolver. Basically, if you cock the revolver, then pull the trigger while slowly "riding the hammer" to allow it to decock slowly - you can see the cylinder stop disengage and the cylinder is allowed to turn before the hammer hits home.
I worry that during firing the cylinder stop might allow the cylinder to turn slightly and the cylinder will not be properly aligned with the bore when it goes off... and KABOOM.
None of my other 1858's do this... the cylinder stop stays fully engaged and the cylinder is locked into position after pulling the trigger.
I would appreciate any advice or direction that you can give me.
