Just purchased the 1858 remmy 5-1/2 from Cabelas. The finish is very good, but I have a problem with the fit. The cylinder pin is quite loose and the cylinder can move side to side very slightly. Enough to hear it rattle when shaken. Also the loading lever is very loose. When you drop the lever it will just fall until it bottoms on the frame. I have a brass frame 58 that is very tight and doesn't have these problems. Is this normal for a steel frame 5-1/2 or should I return and try another?
