Reverend P. Babcock Chase Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Howdy folks, Well the loading gate tab of my backup 66 let go in a match right after my main 66 got weird. I'd really like to get a reinforced version of the item. I seem to remember them at Track of the Wolf but can't find them there now. Any sources that sell the improved loading gates for 66's that you can recommend? HELP! Rev. Chase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Unless something has changed all the bent tab loading gates I tested a few years ago are junk unless they have been reinforced. Photo below. Top OLD style 66 loading gate with solid tab. Middle broken bent tab gate. Bottom bent tab gate with reinforcement. If you get a new gate get a new screw. They have two different screw diameters so order the screw with the gate so you are sure to have the correct screw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
