All,
I have a single-action Colt Peacemaker .22 with a timing problem and so far I haven't been able to find anyone to work on it, so I may have to try to tackle it myself.
The problem is that when cocking it the cylinder starts to rotate before the bolt has retracted. This is not only causing the cylinder to become marked, you can also feel it catch as you pull back the hammer. Would the fix for this be to cause the cylinder to move later, or to cause the bolt to move sooner? What would be the correct way to accomplish the needed adjustment?
