Model 510, 511 and 512- Won't stay cocked

I have a 510 that won't stay cocked. The red safety indicator goes in when the bolt handle is turned down after cocking. Any ideas about what is wrong? Weak trigger spring? Worn sear?

Civil War Model 1863 Muskets Made by Remington

Is there a good source of information about the Remington contract Springfield Model 1863 rifled muskets? I think they made Type I versions, but I can find little info about them.
