Not all flask have a top that can be unscrewed for filling. Does the outside edge of the top have a cannular design on it and does it over lap the top edge by a small amount. If not then the top does not unscrew. My 2nd generation Colt flask does not so I have a small funnel that I made to fill it with. I unscrew the spout and open the gate, insert the funnel and pour in the powder. You need to premeasure the amount of powder you want to put into the flask otherwise you'll spill excess powder.
