The loading lever problem goes all the way back to the originals. I saw one in a museum and it had a discoloration around the barrel about half way down the loading lever, the attendant explained that it had a leather thong to keep the lever up during firing. I also cast my own and use the ROA conical mold from Lee, I also have a REAL mold from Lee that works with the Walker and my ROA's. Mine is an ASM and was unfired but sold as used on an auction site. I got a great deal because the seller listed it as a USMR pistol, because that's what the cylinder said.
