place a drop of red locktight into the screw hole and reinsert

Red locktite will lock the screws in place, almost impossible to remove unless heat is applied. Blue locktite works much more better. Screws won't work loose, and the screws can be removed with a little effort if necessary.

Up here in Alberta oil can be your downfall. When I was a kid I would use 3-1 oil until one cold november morning when the firing pin didn’t move on my rifle. Since then I oil things well but once the cold hits its time to break out the carb cleaner and remove all oils from the action, or in our world the lock.
