Mosin Nagant restoration/preservation
So I picked up this Mosin Nagant yesterday which was in a rather bad condition, this in a way attracted me, so I decided I had to get it. I think I am going to keep it in this condition, but I still want to disassemble it, clean the insides, fix the trigger mechanism and try to preserve it the best I can. It is pretty beat up, and I think keeping it in this condition is a great way of honoring it’s long and hard life.
Picture next to my more "minty" 1943 Mosin:

When disassembling it, I ran into a wall, one of the screws is pretty rusted and will not move, I could really use help on this one:
