New to the forum, Looks like a good one. Now on to the question, I have two pietta's ,1858 Remingtons that I bought from cabelas. Both are the 8 inch barrel models, One is the all blue model they had on sale, for $169.00 with the one shot coupon in the new spring 08 catalog. And the other is the case hardened frame with the checkerd grips. Now the question, When cocking the pistol slowly I can hear three disticnt clicks, I know the first one is half cock and the secound and third click are bolt and trigger set. Both guns are a little different in the timeing of the third click. The case hardened has a little longer pull on the hammer before the trigger sets. should their be three distint clicks or can I stone the top of the trigger ,so that the second and third click are as one. I know this may sound petty. But like to tinker with things and make them smoother and operate better. Are some of the better tuned guns set up this way or do they have the three distinct clicks?
If this sounds dumb, Please excuse me I am new to black powder thing.
Thanks .
