Smoothing Dimple in Loading Gate


Kid Drover

Recommended Posts

How much smoothing out  the dimple on the loading gate leading into the magazine tube do you think would be allowable.  When reloading on clock, the rear of the case on my 38's has a hard time clearing out of the dimple creating an extra amount of effort to get them into the magazine tube.  It isn't only the time, but the effort leads to more time acquiring a site picture.  

 

Thanks,

Oh well, "I'm not sure if it this is appropriate to put on the wire. Anyway, the dimple problem that you describe has also bugged me too for over 20 years. The '73 was/is supposed to be an improved design, not in that area, the '66 is better. It has no dimple and is smooth for better and easy loading. Realizing this Shotgun Boogie has an aftermarket '66 style gate for the '73. I replaced all of mine. One of the very best upgrades that I ever got. I hope that this helps. All the best, Preacherman
