I'm betting this is my problem

I thought my walker and, to a lesser extent, my Dragoon were having problems with cylinder advance when cocking, because of Caps hanging up.
Today at the range my walker started locking up with EVERY shot fired. I looked closely after every shot to see if there were any debris from the caps and there was zero. If I applied just a little turn pressure to the cylinder before cocking, it worked fine. After running out the charges and cycling the cylinder at half cock she would work like a charm when cocking. But as soon as I fired a shot, she would lock up. So tonight I gutted her for the first time. Besides 2 spent caps, the condition the hand was in was surprising. Ive had this weapon since August and have put maybe 60 rnds through her. Looks like I'm gonna have to send her to a smith and get her fixed right the first time. Got a lead on a CASS smith in the Ft. Worth area. Any more in the Central Texas area?
PS- These are the pics I took tonight.
