Pietta 1851 ??

You bet, since I lost out on that Pietta 1851 parts gun, this $40 special is beginning to make me wonder if it was such a good deal after all.
But I do like Colt .36 cal revolvers.
 
Finally all the parts are here, after a little frustration with the bolt I tried spreading the legs and it finally cocks and the cylinder rotates to lock up.
BUT it will work maybe three times then I can't pull the hammer back? If I fool with the cylinder & hammer it will work a couple of more times but then lock up again so I have to fiddle with the cylinder/hammer again to get everything going again.
Any ideas what to check next?
