Hillbille, maybe dont give up yet, try a mix of crisco and bees wax
on the pin i use it all the time, it does not burn of as easy as just
crisco, when i shoot target, i find blobs of mix on the paper target,
and after 12 shots its still on the pin, it takes a lot of shots to burn of,
and try this, put your pin in a drill, spin that puppy and put some
emmery cloth on the pin, that will take it down a tad.
Just trying to help you, it sucks when things go wrong, and you try
all differant things and there is still a prob, i know it bugs the hell
out of me, well good luck.

just got back from the range in my hurry to pack this morning forgot to check ammo only had 14 ball when I got ready to shoot, after all 14 the cylinder was still loose the pin was a bit tight but it still came out by hand. accuracy was still the same so I'm hoping I got the problem fixed by shaving the pin down. thank you all for the help and the info. also forgot the water bottle so I think the pin would have come out even easier with a few drops on it. will be more prepared next time, I hope.

Have you looked here? They are OEM parts, I believe.

Hillbilly, instead of water, you might try bore 13
its looks like a milky substernce ( i think thats how
you spell sub you know what i mean ) anyway its
good for all bp foulling, i have a little bottle with a
thin tube on the end, a few dops on the pin presto
gone, that pin comes out like a hot knife out of butter.

long rider, thats what I use for cleaning put few drops in hot water with dish soap, never thought about putting on the pin guess that would be better than water except the smell, and mess, wasn't sure what it would do to the wood finish on the grips as it would get all over everything.

Thompson Center's No. 13 Bore Cleaner will not damage your wood grips.
