OK you need to laugh cause I am. A fool that doesn't laugh at his mistakes needs a 10 ft ladder to get on his horse lol--- Ok, I have a 3rd gen colt 31 pocket which I kept in a box for years and (knowing nothing about these little guns) I decided to shoot it after leaving Cabella store with 100 little round balls.
couldnt get them to seat w/ little loading lever--- and flask held nothing enough to cause a bang. I took cylinder out and poured powder and tried to seat balls w small tool but they wanted to roll out. I finally got them seated and a few popped. but anyway I scarred barrel and cylinder but the big thing is I cannot find the loading lever anywhere I was thinking of throwing the gun away OR call Tayors and have them reblue/replace lever and get a conversion cylinder --- or just touch it up w/ oxpho and buy a stand up loading lever. HEY I'm laughing but what would you do?
