What do you all use on Russein? Woking on a very old russwin deadbolt cylinder. Just started it today but have done i think 2 a long time ago and they were both tough.

If you mean Russwin, many of them have rotating pins like a Medeco and will require small picks and tons of patience, or a special tool like the Medecoder. Search the site for Russwin - I got a lot of hits back.

I think the rotating pins are in the emhart variation sometimes called corbin emhart.
