Ask questions to be sure the timing is correct.
I didn't know to ask, and the LeMat I bought wouldn't fire, as the hammer would hit the cylinder beside the nipple, outside of the nipple pocket. I'm no smith, so I'll have to get it worked over.
Otherwise,
Welcome to the forum, and I hope you find a good'un.
Ask a question, and you'll get answers. Some will be good, and some will leave you scratching your head...

I’m looking for the Italian reproduction, not an original French one.

I know about the timing on the LeMat, I’ve had two and they both did that. One chain fired on me twice. I got rid of them. I should have kept one just for a wall hanger but I was so disappointed and upset. I’ve been working on guns for over 50 years and never seen anything like that. The way the cylinder stop pin and the hand work are like something I’ve never seen. I couldn’t figure out how to time that thing. The hammer actually rocks from side to side. I tried correcting that with a shim. That didn’t work. Maybe bending the hammer might have worked. Frustration got the best of me and I no longer own one.

Maybe those new 1,000+ are better now

I've had several of them and never a problem. I still have three unfired in original boxes.

I'm guessing it's a pin fire. Either way, it's a cartridge arm outside of this forum's parameters.
