Hey folks-
A year or two back I cut my 1851 Confederate Navy revolver from full-barreled to about the same length as the shorter barreled (I suppose some call it the "Sheriff" configuration.)
Yeah, I know. I should have just kept it as-is and bought a shorter barreled version- In retrospect I realize my decision was a poor one. :-p
Anyhow, the loading lever no longer has that little latch that keeps it in place... Any suggestions for keeping the lever up where it should be? I've used a rubber band, but I'd prefer to use a more permanent and not-so-crappy looking alternative. Suggestions?
BTW- A 3/8's socket wrench extension fits the square part of the loading level very well. ^^
