You can bend the leg of the bolt that rides over the cam on the hammer. It does not take much, just a few thousandth at a time until you get the bolt to raise correctly. It is possible that the cam is worn, compare it to your other 1858's.

The cam doesn't look worn. I did bend the legs of the bolt out slightly, and we are making progress. When I put the gun into half cock slowly it functions correctly every time. When I do it quickly the bolt pops up every time. Bend it out a little more? I hate to take a chance of breaking it before I have a replacement.
