Hi,

I just bought a Pietta Starr reproduction, and was wondering if it would be an easy thing to remove the cylinder and reload it with my 'Tower of Power' loading tool?

Nope. Cool gun, but lousy design and the worst cylinder to load in history.

Think that was one that I was just too slow to respond on.  I had a DA Starr that was problematic at best, had heard that the SAs were better.  I had a home made cylinder loader that worked OK.  I think it's a good design, easy to break down and clean.

And I already have the 'Tower of Power' for the two ROAs that I presently own ...
