Hello I recently purchased a new in box Uberti 3rd model dragoon. Today I finally got some time to go try it out. After I was done firing it I noticed that the cylinder would move back and fourth ever so slightly and that there was a tiny little gap between the forcing cone and the cylinder. Ive heard in the pass that a cylinder gap could be a big problem but I thought that only occurred after lots of use and lots of heavy charges but this gun is brand new. My other black powders such as my walkers, there tight as can be no movement on the cylinder but my dragoon cylinder can move back and fourth very slightly. The gun can go up to 50 grains of powder but I was only using 35 grains of FFFG american pioneer powder and maybe fired 30 rounds through it. Is my gun still safe to shoot and is there anything I should be concerned about? Also my loading lever keeps falling everytime I shoot, how do I fix that as well?
