In lieu of a screwdriver, I have used a 1/4" ratchet with a screwbit after heating and iceing. Use plenty of downforce. More torque than a screwdriver, but go slow and stop when you "think" you should because you can break the bit and scratch the gun.

There is a ton of information on the internet devoted to removing stubborn screws and fasteners. It's not all about searching for junk science to support bans on lead ammunition for hunting.

A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

'Thanks', Keith, for saving me the trouble of having to say the same thing in regard to 'Grouse Guy' and his efforts to ban lead shot in the uplands.

Update: Kroil loosened three of the action screws for manual removal, and the most stuborn under the lever came out like a champ using the drill press after we mustered the courage to try the technique. Condition was not as bad inside as I'd feared, but service was way (80 years?) overdue.

Thanks again to all.

Info for the fellow Cunucks on the board - I managed to track down the mythical Kroil in Canada at "Century Vallen" in Calgary, (403) 287-1690. Apparently, they are the only supplier in all of Canada! They also have multiple locations in other cities.
