RE: Cylinder should rotate freely

But not if the basepin is bent, perhaps?

Well it seems that something is wrong somewhere, maybe the base pin is bent, maybe the hole in the cylinder has carbon buildup, maybe the cylinder was dropped and the front bushing was deformed, maybe there is a problem with the barrel/cylinder gap.

It will take some experimenting to figure out the solution. First the OP can experiment with the parts that he has just by moving things around. If he had another base pin to try then that might be helpful too.
