I took my OM BH .357 to the range today and put 36 full power mag loads through it. Some cast, some jacketed.
Now the base pin will not come out. The pin rotates with the cylinder, and I've removed the latch assembly.
The base pin is getting stuck IN the cylinder. This happened the last time I shot this Ruger too so I switched base pins. Same problem.
After the last time I cleaned it really good and lightly lubed it. But the problem still exists.
Any ideas of what I need to do to fix this annoying problem?
I just remembered, this is the third time I've had it to the range. The first time it still had the conversion action base pin in it. That base pin did not stick, or cause any trouble. I don't want to put that pin back in. I'd rather fix the problem and use the original one.
