I got a new colt 1851 pietta repro. the nipples are on the cylinder extremely tight, and I want to take the gun apart, but the screws wont budge. Any Ideas on how to loosen them?
I am gratified to learn.....

From Doc Hoy: I have an 1873 Winchester clone that I am completely unable to budge the screws on the side plates on.
I was thinking that since it can have a very small focused flame, one might use it directly on the threaded tail end of the side plate screws....putting the tiny flame centered right on the screw end without heating the surrounding surface.
