I just bought another 1860 ASM Conversion. It seems in excellent condition but it was really dirty, and tried to strip it down to clean it but could not get the two back strap screws and the front trigger guard screw out. Tried everything, used right screw drivers, drill press, impack wrench, soaked with penetrating oil three days, they will not come loose. Did not want to use heat as it has a very good finish. Took it to a gunsmith I used to have and he was afraid he would bust the screw heads off. Is there anyone out there can help me, I have an FFL. can ship the gun and pay what ever someone might want. Just like to get the screws loose in case a main spring or something else might brake. I have had trouble with uberti screws but was able to get them out okay.
Thanks for any help,
Reno
