Need some advice please. I need to remove the sear tumbler from a musket lock and I can't shift the large external screw that holds the hammer to the sear tumbler. I tried Kroil, a little heat, freeze off.
One of the challenges is the screw slot is very long but narrow, so I can only get a small screwdriver to fit.
Also locked it all down in a drill press, hand turning a screwdriver bit in the screw sheared the bit easily.
Any other quick tricks of the trade I can try ? It's starting to annoy me, and that's when I usually foul things up !
