    Remington m1871 Oviedo

    I recently bought this rifle. I am trying to get the fore grip off and it has a screw that goes into a type of blind nut from the left to the right side of the grip and the stock tucks into a nose piece. It of course is frozen most likely by rust. I have tapped with a hammer on top of the slotted screw head on top of the screw driver. Bent screwdriver tips trying to turn it. Used a C clamp with a socket and screw driver tip only to break it. I am thinking I am drilling this out. I need to find some parts to replace this if at all possible. I need to get this off to make sure the barrel is not pitted or compromised under it as I want to shoot this gun. Anyone have any ideas as to where I can get the parts? I may get by with just the screw if I can salvage both ends of the blind nuts?? Thanks in advance.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    The bolt on this Spanish gun is called a traverse bolt or cross bolt.
