    i always grease my cylinder pin with imperial wax or sometimes wonderlube if i grease over balls( oooooh errrrr ) and have it left on my fingers.
    what bp do you use?
    I use 777. I clean cylinder pin every reload as it still just about slides after 5/6 shots. I've got some wonder lube so try that next time. Not had a problem so far with caps falling through slot, had that on a friends old army ruger which seemed quite prone to that problem. Posted spare spring back to you today. The one you supplied looks much better than original quality. Thanks again.

    i use to use 777 but unless you have a remote loading stand you can compress it too much which as far as i know doesnt like it,
    does the cylinder pin move freely prior to shooting ?
    what lube do you use as it might be a combination of the 2 that causing you problem.

    Few drops of olive oil on the arbor will keep the pin free for a session,keeps the fouling soft,just add a few more drops if things start to get sticky.
    Sems thr plated pin on the SS version are more prone to jamming,a hammer is not the first or best option though.
