Reproduction Snail Drum - progress

[DavidJayUden]

I just got mine back and the only issue was that the loader would not lock onto the drum, so it just slid off under pressure. Just a bit of filing and that was fixed. Like G. T. says, they are problematic and I wouldn't want to bet my life on one, but they are way cool at the range.
Thanks for your help, G. T!

GT makes a special loading/holding tool holder to be sure the loader stays on the drum. It is worth having if you are going to use the loading tool frequently.
