    One screw out, second still holding fast. I'm using a combination of two rust dissolvers. Liquid Wrench and some other stuff that stinks to high heaven but you can see the rust dissolve when you spray. Tapped the screw driver in with a hammer and turn them with a wrench on the screwdriver blade. Good news is the first screw wasn't really rusty at all, just stuck fast at the head. Hoping second is the same. The stuck one is the receiver screw so no way to get the oil in the threaded area.

    Beautiful.....that's how I like them. I've had two full length 1889s, wish I still had them.

    I don't think I could have gotten my wallet out fast enough. I love the 1889s, and this one has that 'done that' look that I can't get enough of. Great score.
