I got the screw out. After the head broke off, I took it to a gunsmith who removed it for $25, at least I didn't mess it up. Now I have to finish cleaning it, put it back together and enjoy it for years to come. |

Did that include the new grip screw?

Apparently the rust was pretty bad, but in many cases soaking the rusty screw and area in Kroil Oil will loosen it up and it will come out without that hassle and expense. I realize that the area of the grip is tough to work in.

I received the screw from Howard, thanks Howard. I couldn't believe it, a new guy comes on here asking where to get one and Howard sends one out no problem, great people here. The gun is now clean and reassembled. It looks great. I will post some pictures of it soon.
