Hi all,
Just registered today, but been perusin the site for a couple weeks. I picked up an 1858 Remington clone (pietta) and ordered a conversion cylinder for it.
C&B cylinder works fine, but when I put the conversion cylinder in the revolver will only cock on 3 of 6 cylinders, feels like it is right at the edge on the others but won't go that extra bit to allow full cock.
If I am thinkin right, this means the hand is a hair too long right?
If so, would I need to file down the last notch on the hand?
any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Doc
