Shot the old 44 1858 today

[monkr]

The gun shot good but the loading lever came down on every shot. Load was 20 grains of fffg. Whats best way to fix this. I am 1858 illerate when it comes to adjusting things on the gun. As always appreciate any advice.

Monkr, it sounds like a worn or misshapen barrel underlug. Look at where the loading lever catches the underlug. Sometimes a little judicious filing will cure it. If you're inexperienced with filing, a 'smith can do it. Should be only a few bucks. Tree.

I had one pistol that did that, put a rubber band around the barrel and loading lever.
