That pretty much sums it up. The new Piettas are CAM/CAD and almost every part is a drop in replacement.Historically, Piettas have not been perfect either, often coming with poorly fitted bolts, timing issues, and/or roughly finished internal parts, so "pick your poison". I have heard that Pietta quality has been steadily improving, but have no recent experience with any. Until I am shown different, I will continue to assume that any stock percussion revolver is a "pre-assembled kit" which will most likely need a bit of attention before it is as good as it should be. Considering the low prices of these guns, compared with the typical centerfire revolver, that seems fair enough.
It has indeed been brought to their attention. They refuse to acknowledge there is an issue.You can almost guarantee a Pietta won't have the issue and at the same time guarantee a Uberti will.
It literally blows my mind that with this being an issue for decades on Uberti cap guns and now with the world wide web of info it has bound to come to their attention that they can't address such a simple but serious problem and fix it.

Wow, first time I heard of using a spring to fix the arbor...kinky.
