Jorge, It is muscle memory, just muscle memory. Practice enough and you can load one on the run! In fact, I did just that before taking my 1895 .405 to RSA to hunt buffalo. I went a bit overboard with practice because before I practiced loading without looking, I tried to reload while following a spooked Nilgai and messed up. We had to stop while I dug jammed .405 cartridges out with my knife, all while my PH looked on.  After that it occurred to me such a fubar could be fatal if hunting DG. Practice, practice, etc.

Sweet SRC Tmitch!!!!!! Here's old son (aka Postoak Cowbow who lurks about the fire) who now owns my first '95 in 35 WCF, and a nice buck from last season he scored with it ![[Linked Image]](https://s5.postimg.org/tr01d31lz/IMG_5125.png)

That 95 the son has above had a refinished buttstock that displayed a LOT of proud metal around the upper and lower tang. I had a refinished original 1894 buttstock in my shop and in about 1/2 hour fitted it to this rifle. Looks a bit better. And yes we retained the original wood. ![[Linked Image]](https://s5.postimg.org/z3th4yew7/IMG_3397.jpg)
