Howdy everyone,
Got a problem I'm trying to work out. I recently purchased a used Pietta 1851 that the cylinder would spin freely on while I'm full cock.
I dissembled and discovered a weak bolt/trigger spring. It broke upon removal.
Bought a replacement spring and now for the life of me I cannot reassembly the gun and get it to function correctly. The issue is now with the trigger. I follow all the instructions in the multitude of video on YouTube but still am having problems.
The problem is basically that the trigger locks up and doesn't really have much "play" or "give." It doesn't want to engage and cock when the hammer is pulled back. The issue im having seems to stem from the fact there is very little space in front/around the trigger once the bolt and its screw are installed prior.
Only thing I've replaced is the bolt/trigger spring.
Anyone have any solutions or had a similar problem?
Thanks,
Chaz
