Both were built from kits , the .36 by me and the .44 by my father . It's been a long time since these have been fired , but I seem to recall filling the chambers level full and pressing a ball in flush - or a bit below . I need to replace the hand on the .36 , I damaged it when I built it and it's never been quite right . Got a new hand , just haven't taken time to fit it . -- Snag It's great to be straight !
