Reproduction Snail Drum - progress

No,
the strut does NOT stay attached to the tool.

Only the small boss is added to the tool.

It is way simpler than it sounds, wait till you have it and it will be clear.

I find it easy to attach after it is adjusted to your loader/magazine combination if you place the block under the arm of the drum and slide the other end onto the boss on the loader. Remove the same way.
If you want to over do it, you can adjust the fit each time!

Sorry guys! I missed that first part about staying attached! Don, is 100% correct in that it just snaps on and just pulls off, once adjusted to the drum you need not make any further adjustments unless you want to occasionally tighten the block.. The block is made of black Delrin on purpose to be sacrificial and will get beat up a bit from on and off... but the guys who have them will attest, it makes the whole set up much more stable during the loading process!! ....

.... best to you all, til...lat'r....GT
