Mike: I posted about returning a buggered head back to "decent". Not perfect, but decent.
I turned the screw into the receiver and gently tapped it with a small hammer but I like the idea of using the drift punch hammer combo a bit better. I was gentle but it could have been possible to miss the screw and hit the frame, although, as I said, the tapping was very gentle. It did not take much to move the majority of the metal back to position. Frankly, I was very surprised.
The gun is a "worthless" piece that should have found the scrap heap but I got foolish - only in time, not money. Been at it for many months, mostly soaking to remove rust. It was completey seized in every possible way with rust. Most screw heads were buggered so I tried the pening with the worst one and it is no longer the worst one.
Cheers,
Jack
