To be complete the gun needs everything, except the lever latch, pertaining to the loading lever.
I called VTI and then sent them some pictures. They said that that they did not carry parts for the gun. It was obsolete.
I figure the exterior condition of the gun scared them away.
As you know I can buy a cylinder loading stand and load it, or load it without a stand, but I would like for the gun to be complete. The gun is in time and works smoothly.
