How to cut grease notches in a ‘58 Remington cylinder pin?

[nick_1]

if you have it dialed and shoot it sparingly it will last you a long time. I have a back yard range and shoot almost every day, Brasser was not a good choice for me.

I did it and it works well.

Blackie has a dandy moving picture film on the You Tube regarding this.

Wonder how the fouling works back to the grooves without a pathway . . . magic I reckon .

All is magic when setup correct

You could chuck it up in a drill or drill press and cut the grooves with a triangular file.

Yes, but hard to control. The flat spot on the pin is going to give you a bump. Best to do it by hand. Only a very slight ring is needed, if at all. I have rems I've done and others I have not and don't really notice a difference but I usually only shoot 3, maybe 4 cylinders. No binding but the pin will get hard to pull.

I use white lithium grease on Remington's and have no problem with cylinder stickiness, galling, hanging up-whatever term ya want to apply. Have shot it up to 3-4 hours at a time, grease in front of the cylinder turns brown is all. I slather as much as possible on it from the get-go. Use the white lithium on Colt arbors also, only thing that happens is brown grease a bit in from cylinder face. Have used the white lithium since early 90's.
