I've got a lot of pards that want one. I want to deliver one that will really work and still not break the bank. Thanks to Larsen Pettifogger I've got a couple new wrinkles to work into the design. His ideas have merit.
Thanks Larsen.

There goes my birthday wish... I just told my wife I wanted one of your loading arbors a couple of weeks ago. I even looked it up on your site to get the price.
I hope you get it worked out soon, I really want one. I already remove my cylinders between every stage to clean and charge them with powder and a wad before putting them back on to seat the ball. I would rather load them off of the pistol to limit the wear and tear on the loading lever and allow me to clean the cut lead ring before reassembly.
I have found if I disassemble after every stage, remove any cap debris, clean the cones with a brush, remove any fouling at the cylinder pin and wipe everything down I can run a match with no more trouble than someone shooting Frontier Cartridge. I’ve gotten it down to a choreographed routine much like a pit crew changing tires. I can do all of this while manning the unloading table and performing the duties of the Unloading Table Officer for the Posse. The loading arbor would be even better because it is my responsibility to stop my routine and give my full attention to the shooter when they are unloading. Visual verification of powder charge, seated wad and then the seated projectile would be as fool proof as you can get.
If you need any design work done or drawings created to expedite the process I’ll be glad to help. I have many years of experience getting things manufactured and can do detailing in my sleep. No catch, I just want to be able to order one. Seriously, email me if you could use any help.
