(At this point some people might like me to point out the hazards of a sharp chisel. If you need to be told that then you have no right to own a firearm! )

@gundoc If you need to be told that then you have no right to own a firearm or a sharp chisel.....!

Fixed it for you....Spot on.

like play school. make sure you have an older person do it for you.
Sounds like you @gundoc
I agree with the dropping out into the hand part. A jab with the thumb and while mine doesn't just fall out it pops out enough to grab. It does fall out better loaded and a bit heavier
