I did not want to hyjack the debate on Rem V Colt issue, but I did read a statement that the Rem cylinder pin has no "annular" grooves in it to hold lubricant, and to prevent binding from fouling. Why not turn a few grooves in a Rem pin to duplicate the Colt feature? I have a machine lathe, and will try this. Can't try the idea, until the weather breaks here, and the range becomes usable again. Maybe one of you desert creatures could do this sooner. The worst could happen, is buying a new pin. Don't use a sharp pointed threading bit, use a slightly rounded nose bit, and keep it shallow, so as not to create a breaking point.
