Uberti Walker loading lever

[M. De Land]

So does tying up the loading lever with a shoe string or rubber band! :grin: Mike D.

But tying the lever is H/C...

It's between the loading leaver and the barrel. Had to check mine to make sure I wasn't losing my mind....

I have 2 Walkers and I guess I am fortunate,neither one drops the lever at 50 grs or less. Only full loads and only occasionally...

Same here, I did work on the lever spring to engage better though.

Use a rubber band.

I use a BLUE rubber band, so it blends-in with the blued gun. Using stout loads of 50+ grains of 3Fg Goex drops the lever every time, so after the clip finally broke, I never bothered replacing it--just use the rubber band, lol!

You obviously copied my advice from about six years ago........ :thumbsup:

Yep! Sometimes you just take good advice and run with it. I do like seeing the photos from Curator though...

One thing is for sure--when I harvested my 300 pound Sow with my Walker and a 225 grain Lee conical I sure was glad I had the rubber band on the gun to prevent a lock-up while trying to cock the gun for a quick follow-up shot. I ended up only taking one shot through both lungs, but it was indeed nice to NOT have to deal with the dredded "droop", lol!

Sometimes simple is the way to go.
