Thread: BSA Martini 22 Target rifle

should come out - they have a short steel sleeve thru the wood that the screw fits thru - whole thing must be rusted in - use a correct fitting screw driver - sometimes a slot head of correct shape and size on end of a socket set handle gives a lot better leverage than a screwdriver - I modify my screw drivers with a file when working on this old stuff to make sure the slot head screwdriver fits the screw exactly - but try to get it off then the underside of the barrel can have a good clean and oil - I had real problems getting the stock of one of mine - they have a big slot head bolt accessed thru a hole drilled right thru stock - used a strong bar socket set slot head combination and finally herd a squeak inside as the rust stopped holding hands -
