This is my first time on this forum. I shoot an 1858 new army. Im kind of excited because the postal service dropped off a new cimarron 1860 army today. But i have some concerns. I unpacked it as soon as i got home to find that when the hammer is all the way down it doesnt sit evenly in the notch where the nipple is. there is twice as much gap on one side than the other on every cylinder. and i can see where the hammer rubs against the frame when fired. i havent fired it yet. Anyone out there that feels up to giving some advice?
