Hi.....I'm a newbie here.....Last year I bought a new 1872 open top chambered in 44 Colt. After shooting it at the range, I tried removing the barrel for cleaning and it wouldn't budge. Finally had to return it to be fixed. The verdict was that the cylinder pin was bent. Anyone else have this problem?
