Low Key, Take out your cylinder pin and take a close look at it and you will see it's kind of rough and not finished or polished at all.
Get some good metal sand paper and go to work on those ridges and bumps. Don't take to much, just enough to take off the sharp edges.The fouling catches in these grooves and makes it harder for the cylinder to turn.
You also want to stone the star ridges on the nipple side of the cylinder so that they are real smooth and them chamfer the cylinder pin hole on both ends. This will allow a little grease to stay in there.
Before you load the cylinder place a little grease over and in the cylinder hole on the front side of the cylinder. When you slide the pin in it will push the grease through the hole and will even help grease the hammer screw
Just look down in the trigger works after you have the cylinder in. I also like to smear a little grease on the cylinder stars.Hope this helps yours as much as it did mine. Mike
Kevin, My sister is a retired Sgt. of detectives from the Akron, Ohio force. She was also a trainging officer for police forces all over the US. They would come to Columbus ,Ohio to take classes from her in Child abbuse.
When she retired she had no use for man kind . She said she had seen way to much of "man's inhumanity to man". Now that she's been away from it for awhile her attitude is much better.When she retired and they had a party for her they gave her a stainless "Walther P-.380" in a beautiful case. What a great gun that is!
Glad you got that book. It really is about the best I've seen and it has alot of other info too. Be careful out there, Nashville has it's nut's for sure!
I live in a town of less than 10,000 and we have lots of them here .
Carry the Remington , an a old Sheriffs badge and cowboy hat. When someone gives you a hard time just fire it in the air with 40g in it. When they hear it and see the fire come out the barrel they leave in a hurry
