Pietta 1858 New Army

I bought a Pietta 1858 new Army revolver from Cabelas and finally got to shot it At Old Bridge yesterday. Had a lot of fun with it.
I broke it down completely and cleaned it. Got everything back together and  It looks like the hand is not coming out far enough and the cylinder is not advancing all the way.  Any suggestions? I was wondering if the spring on the hand needs to be bent out some.

    Did it work like this before you shot it?

     

    Maybe take it all apart and put it back together again, possible that something didn't go back to together right.....I'm guilty of have this happen to me.

    Bring it to the Black Powder League Qualifier Shoot on Sunday and let Lance take a look at it.  And what ever you do, don't force anything in the meantime!

    It did work  better before. I have to take a better look at it.

    Sunday is a good idea but I cant make it this time. Besides I want to get a rifle and wanted to get some input from you guys.

    PM me and I can get your phone number and chat for a while so you can better describe whats going on.  And I can give you Lance's home phone number so you can call him to arrange a look-see since he's retired at this point.  You'll want to make sure that it's back together the right way.  On small piece turned the wrong way can cause a problem for sure, lol!

    I have one of those but never take it apart more than removing cylinder and nipples when cleaning. Pouring boiling water through the innards and oiling once dry is good enough I figure.
