I recently purchased a Stainless Steel 1858 Remington and have had a number of problems So far I have only shot it two rounds when the lever arm / spring broke. Since I had NO help from Cabelas, I decided to just go ahead an purchase a replacement arm / spring from VTI as suggested in this Forum by a very helpful poster! After installing and reassembly, I now have another problem. The Revolver will not Cock past the first notch with the cylinder installed. I am not an expert, but I believe all is correctly assembled and without the cylinder the revolver cocks fine. I have taken it apart numerous times. If I leave out the cylinder lock just as a test, it works fine so I think it has to do with the trigger assembly somehow. Can anyone email me a PDF file with the assembly instructions so I can check everything again? Any other suggestions. If I can not get it working, am thinking of sending it to the factory for repair if this is possible.
Thanks so much for any suggetions!
