All auto parts stores sell thread penetrant which works great for loosening bolts as long as they haven't been glued on. Also you might want to look into finding someone with an impact wrench and a vise.

If you try the thread penetrant, make sure you know where it is dripping. It will ruin o-rings and seals.

if loctite was used... ou will need to heat the screw up to loosen the loctite.....

Virus is right. Once you have the rail and the asa off the gun its all aluminum so it can be put in the oven at around 250 for a while and the glue will either soften or get crumbly depending on what is used. Make sure you use a good allen wrench when it comes out and have something good to grab it with when its hot. good luck
