Removing frightening rear guard screws on Enfields

[Rapidrob]

Canton, buy a can of Kroil, this penatrating oil has been around for years and will enter a gap of 1,000,000 of an inch. I have used this product for years with very good results. It's in an orange and black painted can. It also makes a very good bore cleaner. Try it after you think you have cleaned the rifles bore. The patch will come out almost black!
The tiny drill bit and Easy-out is the way to go.

I have seen Kroil around...not sure if I can find that in Canada. Sounds worth a try. Thanks.
I do have Break Free and Liquid Wrench...not as good?


The screws aren't broken off yet...I'm going to score some perfect ones somewhere and give them a shot.
Good bore cleaner eh?

Anyone have 2 or 3 very good SMLE rear guard screws you could drop in an envelope? Paypal?

Canton, can you send me a photo of the screws you need? I may have a few laying around.

Here they are in all their terrifying glory...first my BSA .410 shotgun- I couldn't get it loose and gave up...I gave it a good shot of aerosolized Break Free tonight.



On my Sht 22 IV.



Here's the rear guard screw from my Lithgow SMLE.
