I,m trying to find the post on modding the Remmie cylinder to keep the pin from fowling as fast as it does. Thanks for any help.

Try lubing your pin with Lubriplate before and after each loading and your problems will cease to exist.

I'm thinking about spraying my cyl pin with spray moly dry lube.

OK. Thanks everyone

Based on a video I saw a few years back I've always lubed and sealed the round ball in my revolvers with Canola oil. A little drop wicks around the ball and seals as well as lubing the ball in its passage down the bore.

I also add a drop to the cylinder pin on my Uberti '58's about ever other cylinder worth. The Canola oil does a fine job of cutting the fouling and holding it in suspension so the cylinder can carry on doing what it does best... turning with ease each and every time I cock the hammer.

Try it, you'll like it!... :D

The true test was when I looked in the barrels after a morning of cowboy stages and 15 shots with each 58. The fouling and Canola had blended together in a way that one barrel was simply clean but greasy looking and the other was greasy with a "cobweb" of goopy black oily like fouling hanging from one side to the other of the bore. To me it was another testament that Canola and black powder fouling go together pretty well.

It didn't work out quite as nicely for patch lube in my flintlock though. I figure it was related to the length of the barrel since the crustiness I found occured was mostly up near the front end.

My findings compare to BC Rider: I put a single drop of oil (olive or Ballistol but it looks like canola [AKA rapeseed oil] will do) on the juncture of the frame and cylinder pin. I do this betwen stages and just after charging the 5 chambers. A few twirls and cylinder jiggles and I'm good to go. It takes about 5 seconds and will keep your Remmie going all day.

I never have a problem with cylinder rotation, and i dont use lube just cornmeal, of course i dont shoot cass and i use a cylinder stand exclusively, i just simply wipe the cylinder pin down with bore butter , rich
