I've never had the pins out of my little longrifle for that reason. For cleaning I've always just pulled the flash hole liner and used a flush tube. Has worked well for years.
as far as cleaning i just put a rag on the nipple let the hammer down and put some of my cleaner down the barrel to soak for a few minutes after a shoot then i just take the range rod with a patch and push it down the barrel a little bit pull the hammer off the nipple then push the range rod down the barrel the rest of the way it's like a power flush and of course i tilt the rifle as to not get the dirty fluid in my lock.
