Ok I have bought over 100 guns in the last 2 years that are C/B percussion revolvers . Piettas that come in the red and black Tradition box or Pietta box are far more in demand fot retail than the ones in Cabella box. There are reasons which I won't go into but ask some others. And yes I have bought some fine ones from Cabella--those people are professional, friendly and wholeheartly wanting to please you and will take back guns and refund your purchase if your gun has flaws or not functionally right. They buy so many that they can offer discount prices but some are not up to par due to mass buying them from Pietta. Don't hesitate to send one back if it isn't right. I know
