There are aftermarket kits to slick up the feeding. I'd give Nate Kiowa Jones a holler, as this is his stock and trade. May as well have him slick up the whole thing. As for the .38's not shooting well for ya, you might need to load them a little hotter. You're probably not sealing the chamber, and ...

When I shot lead out of pistols a lot I would just shoot a few jacketed rounds out of the gun when I got done shooting and it would blow/scrape the lead out. I've heard this method will also just force the lead down into the corner at the base of the rifling. I just use the Kleen Bore "tornado...

Every levergun they make but the H001 and H001Y are severely overpriced, and they are getting pretty high for a gun made of the same stuff they use to make matchbox cars.

That said, my H001 will keep 'em all in a gopher hole at 200 yards! I love that cheap little piece of stuff!
