That is the front flip down door of my gun rack, my youngest son made for me when he was in high school. ('bout 20 years ago.)

Love it AZ6! I don't know why, but I just love that little stubby loading lever. I know it makes it hard to load, but it just looks cool.

I had planned on using a cheater bar like Mike Ventuino uses on his.

That's awesome AZ6! I've been wanting one, but they are hard to find and expensive when you do.

I wouldn't shoot a gun with a short loading lever without using the Slixhand bar. Talk about saving my hand!

Watched that video, looked at the SLickHand bar, went up to the garage, got a deep well socket, and a half inch extension... thinking this 'll do.

Had to utilize a vice after the fact, to unf**k the loading lever. L@J

I didn't know about the Slix Handbar.  It looks nice.
I have been using a brass pipe on my 5" barrel Colt.

Use a piece of garden hose.  If that won’t work for you then get a longer gun.
