SL,

Use Bore Butter and do some of the tricks mentioned for BP '58 Remingtons. Chamfer the cylinder pin hole on the cylinder, ,pack the pin as full of Bore Butter that you can. you might go as far as lubing over the chambers with bore butter like a C & B cylinder is done to prevent chain fires.

Easier way is to outside lube your bullets with Bore Butter this will help a lot.

The bore butter works! I shot 5 stages Sunday with a "58 Pietta RemC & B and a '58 Pietta Rem Kirst 44 Rem Conversion. the C & B performed flawlessly and so did the 3 cylinders I switched out. The Conversion ran smooth up to the last stage then was a little stiff only when i unloaded at the unloading station after the last stage. I use outside lubed 44 Rem. that I load. I lube with Bore butter. and the conversion uses BP.

On the C & B I packed the cylinder pin as full of bore  butter as I could, lubed the pawl (star on the back of the cylinder) and stuffed bore butter into the cylinder pin hole, lubed over the balls to prevent chain fire and my Pietta "58 rocked.

Also I almost forgot, I use NO petroleum based lubricants at all None Zip Nada, I use Olive Oil for the internals and all other lubing on the pistols. I clean with hot soapy water dry then use the olive oil.

Your Remmie '75 is probably crudding up at the cylinder/frame junction at the front of the cylinder. In my '58s I put a drop of oil on the front of the cylinder between each stage after I have recharged the cylinders. I also use grease over the balls and liberally lube the cyl pin & back of the cylinder with greases. I do use automotive greases since they are the same consistancy whether cold or hot seasons and get the job done. Bore butter is probably better but gets hard when it is cold outside.  I work the drop of oil (Ballistol) down onto the cylinder pin by jiggling & rotating the cylinder. You may just have too tight of a cylinder gap for BP and it's gonna foul up. You might do better with 777 (hotter) or APP but neither is real gunpowder.

Many Thanks Pal's


I will try bore butter, it is possible that the sylinder is to tight ( it seems like it), and i might have too polish the sylinder stick.
