Wallow out the hole in the frame that the gate fits into. I tried replacing the gate but it didn’t help. The loading gate itself was fine, the hole in the frame was no longer round and had a mouth like a funnel. It just would not supposed the loading gate like when it was new. The gate still functioned ok. The gate was just loose and when it was open. You could feel how sloppy it was compared to when it was new. When the gate was closed you could push it towards the cylinder quite a it. It was noticeable to to anyone who loaded it. It is just my experience with one gun. I don’t claim to be an expert l, even on TV. It just my $.02

In theory, the gate is unsupported if the cylinder
