RE: Cylinder should rotate freely

And if the base pin is rotating because it is dragging inside the cylinder, a bigger base pin will make it worse.

But not if the basepin is bent, perhaps? It would be interesting to see if the basepin is still true, or if it's got a kink somewhere along it. I'd be tempted to swap in a different basepin to see if the problem goes away or not, it could be from another Ruger, wouldn't even have to be oversize.
