Whoa, I learned about this one the hard way. When we did an exhibit
including Colts and Winchesters at one museum our designer did a good job,
but turned all the loading gates and side-hammers towards the wall. In the
first three days we had at least ten firearms enthusiasts stop by the office
to tell us to turn 'em around with the gates and hammers out!
