Dusty,
If you polish the cylinder pin a bit (mirror finish will do...LOL) Shiny is a good thing, and lube the bejeebers out of it it'll work great. Do not use any petroleum based lubes as they interact with the BP and make hard fouling and do it quickly. Use Bore Butter, it works great and is made from edible ingredients, not that we'd ever eat it, but you can. I lube the pawl area also.
I use only Olive Oil for lube in the internals. The cheap Virgin stuff from the dollar store works great and comes in a bottle small enough to put in your shooting bag.
