Rescue an 1860 Army--
Just a question that some of you might be able to answer---I have an Italian copy of an 1860 Colt Army .44--frame, barrel, grips/handle, loading lever, cylinder are all in good shape, but the innards have had it. Will not hold the hammer back when fully c**ked and keeps jamming at the half c**ked position until gun is dis-assembled and cylinder is pulled off. Is there supposed to be a spacer of some sort between the rear of the cylinder and frame, seems like a lot of fore and back movement there and would a new set of the internal parts turn it into a working model? I want to replace the trigger, hand, cylinder stop and possibly the hammer, the springs are all fine and working---any comments, ideas or suggestions would be appreciated---thanks-------John
