I recently purchased an R&D conversion cylinder for my 1849 Uberti Pocket and the cylinder needed to be fitted right from the get go.

I spent a good bit of time fitting the bolt and hand, and it now cycles and locks up PERFECT. However, I'm beginning to notice a line around my cylinder which I think would indicate the bolt is dragging.

I'm a bit confused because I can visually see the bolt pop up and retract freely within the frame with the cylinder removed and there is absolutely no "slop" with the cylinder installed. Everything seems to be working perfect, but again ... I'm beginning to notice a drag line around my cylinder.

Can anyone tell me what causes this and how I may correct it?
