Symptoms:
If the barrel is pointed down or level, cocking the hammer will cause the cylinder to rotate, but if the barrel is pointed upwards, the cylinder will not rotate and in some cases, the hammer will not even go far enough back to fully cock the hammer.
Question:
Is there some sort of spring that puts pressure on the catch to move it forward so that it engages the notches on the rear of the cylinder?
I've examined the action and cannot see any pieces of percussion cap that might be jammed in it. I've sprayed some lithium grease into it, but that didn't make a difference either.
