    semi stripped screw stuck on feedneck. help!

    I've got this rare SS centerfeed am/mm body: http://store.airgun.com/index.cfm?fu...fo&prodId=1992

    I cannot unscrew the feedneck screw, it seems li,e it was screwed on too tigh. What can I use to loosen it up? the screw is starting to strip and my allen keys are starting to have a hard time getting a good grip. The last thing I want to do is damage the feedneck or body. The screw looks like a regular 8/32, so it's easily replaceable.

    Easy out screw extractor.

    If you have a spare allen wrench that is the proper size, you could also JB Weld it into place, let it set up and then take the screw out. Of course the allen key is junk at that point, but may be cheaper than buying an extraction set.

      Hmm. Interesting alternative, I might to the JB Weld route first. Thanks!

      *edit*

      I managed to remove the screw with an old Torx screwdriver that I hammered in the screw head. The pointy fins of the Torx was enough to bite in the screw head for easy unscrewing.
