well, this is a pistol thread...

I have a maintenance question.
I have a 1860 colt repro by (Uberti) and at first it would Half cock allowing the cylinder to spin (for Loading) after the first disassembly and cleaning. It will not half cock with the cylinder free rotating. I disassimbled it totally and reassembled it without changing anything and it still doesn't free rotate. There is a position just before Half cock" that if held there will allow the cylinder to rotate. It looks like a "timing" problem.. Any suggestions? Blitzzz
