Hello guys.

I recently acquired my first P08 that I plan to take down and clean off surface rust with 0000 steel wool. I noticed strait away when I received it that both the grip screws were fairly mangled and I have my doubts as to weather they will last if and when I manage to get them loose.

Two questions I suppose,

1 - Are the screws hard to come by? I have had a look on the foresale section and couldn't find any.

2- I would assume submersing that area of the gun in some sort of oil might help loosen up the screws but I don't know weather that will damage the possibility of resurrecting the grips, any advice would be great.

Cheers Peg
