Hello,
I've recently bought a fuze, believed to be French. It comes to pieces easily except for the large slotted screw at the top of the projectile. Despite much soaking in WD40 and making a tool to fit the slot precisely, this refuses to move. After the last effort and another clean I've noticed what looks like a locking pin driven in to one side only. I need to find out if; (a) this is a locking pin?
(b) can I drill it out (micro-drill), and release the threaded top?
(c) I am completely wrong?
I will attach some pic's to illustrate, providing they are clear enough!
Cheers,
navyman.
