"Both are slicked up by the factory..."
In the end having gun tuned by someone like Long Hunter is better way to go than "factory."
Long Hunter does all the following:
- OUR PRICE INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING CUSTOM WORK -
1.
Hone all internal parts
2.
Replace all springs with Lee's "Gunslinger Spring Kit"
3.
Rework sear and hammer for crisp 2 1/2lb trigger pull
4.
Open forcing cone to 11 degrees
5.
Square barrel face
6.
Check cylinder gap and head space
7.
Set timing and advance bolt drop
Factory will include coil springs but not forcing cone and I doubt factory includes most of the rest and what is factory will be done at a lower grade. If you have a gun he will do an action job for $135.00

I had Lee's do one of my single actions and it was worth every penny. Too bad they only do black powder now.
