A friend of mine bought a 1851 confederate navy from cabela's. the hammer will cock but will go back to half cock. He called cabela's they said they had problems with that model and sent him the 1860 army and he did not have to send the other one back.

Does anyone know what the problem is with the 1851 confederate and how to fix it?

If we can't fix it he is going just use the parts from it.
