Default Repro Warning

It has come to my attention that the top action screw under the top lever can become frozen to the inner sleeve. The gunsmith thinks moisture gets in and mixes with residue acides from the color case process. If this happens the gun cannot be disassembled and will require expensive sergery and new parts. Owners like me will need to remove the screw, clean all the parts with solvent and lub with gun greece. A Q-tip works well to clean the screw port on the receiver. I do not like to mess with belly screws but they can freeze as well. I have serviced my hunting guns top screws....only one was hard to remove. I think it was close to being frozen. Thanks all SXS ohio...(-:
