The owner of a local field replaced my banjo bolt orings with some different ones. Now my banjo bolt is stuck and I can't even get it out with a Allen wrench.
What should I do?

Orings won't make it stuck to the point that you can't get it out. Orings + metal = orings lose. If the bolt is stuck on an oring, extra pressure will stretch the oring and release the bolt. If the bolt is caught on something else, then there might be an issue, but that shouldn't be the case.

Take out the front frame screw. If that doesn't help, it may have loctite on it.:confused:

I've had the frame shift when the banjo bolt was loose and it made it a ***** to get out. spider is right loosen or remove the frame screw.

The bolt on mine was stuck and I had to remove the front screw and then pull the trigger frame down to put pressure on the banjo bolt and slowly twist and pull it to come loose.

i don't think you will hurt anything other than the o rings if you have to get aggressive with it. they come in a 4 pack from AGD, i don't know what quantity Tuna sells them in.

Alright, thanks guys. I've only played with my RT once but it's so awesome I can't wait to get back on the field with it. Definitely beats all the cockers I've owned... I just hate to see it not working.

I understand that one. Sad thing is. Once you get it figured out. You will feel dumb about how bad the problem was slapping you in the face. Ya just couldnt see it.... least that's how I always end up feeling.

At this point I'd put some heat to it and melt the bango orings. I bet one broke and is now jammed between the valve and main body or the body and rail.

Club the field owner with the marker. See if that jars something loose.
