Just got this 1862 last week love this gun, but their is a blow back problem. I know it is a blow back problem, because cap fragments are between the hammer and frame after most shots before the gun is re-cocked. This happens even with reduced loads. I ordered some slix-shot nipples but they are to tall for the cylinder, and noticed the 1862 nipples are slightly shorter than the standard uberti nipples although the threads are the same. So what have you guys that have one of these great little gun done to solve this problem. I really want to stay away from the jb weld thing, it's a blow back problem anyway. Thanks
