I have an 1858 Remington replica by Pietta. I use that GI grease that comes in the little round plastic containers with the yellow top. It works great for the cylinder rotation but when I go to clean my gun, I have to pound the cylinder pin out by using a wooden dowel and hammer and hitting a few taps on either side of the "T" on the cylinder pin to get it out. I would imagine this does not hurt anything as I am careful when I do this, but is this standard procedure?
Does anyone use something so that you can just pull it out with your fingers? If so, what is it?
I have sometimes wondered if the way I take the cylinder pin out hurts anything.
Any comments?
