I have a Pietta '51 Navy. The bolt is hitting the edge of the slots on the cylinder by the semi-circular leads. Bolt is of the proper width (fits in the slots). Cocking it slowly, it seems like the bolt doesn't pop up until it is at full cock, but I'm still getting dings at the slot edges. What needs to be done to correct this?
