I know this topic has been discussed in the past, just wondering if anyone has come up with a good solution.
Problem:
The Uberti 1858 Remington cylinder pin fouls when using Pyrodex pellets after just 6 shots. Removing the pin becomes nearly impossible as the blowby of each shot forms a sticky glue on the pin.
I have had little success placing a smidge of paste (comprised of Burts bees wax, olive oil & crisco) both in front of the ball as well as behind. Lubing the pellets has a minor effect. I'm thinking of scratching the surface so that more vegtable oil can cling to the pin, but wonder if this will really help. I can usually get the pin to dislodge by twisting it to break the glue, and maybe a shot of BP cleaner in a small bottle squirted on the pin would be the best solution.
What's the good word?
