    HELP me!! Stripped screws on RT

    ok I just bought an rt from this guy,right and there was only one striped screw...the one by the trigger....I think this one will be easy to fix so.. Ill just mess with it later once I get a replacment. I got to thinkin what would my new RT look like with out the sight rail on.... So I took out the ol' allen wernch and went to work on the first of the six screws. It was tight as hell so I just tried a little bit harder.....STRIPPED!....So I was like ****!. the next two swrews came out then the other side...stip one more then another. So my question is, how do you get stripped screws out and were can I pic up some new ones....this is realy pissing me off being that the gun just camr today about 5 hours ago

          I believe sears sells a system to remove stripped screws and it would probably work real well with what you need. Also you can search for E-z out. They look like reversed drill bits. You basically use it like a screwdrive to remove the screw and it just digs in and bites as you back it out.
          Screw Out By craftsman is one.. but there are several.

              u can try drilling a hole in the center and letting it break aprt while drilling it..this may work i dunno..i havent tried it but the more i think about it, it sounds like it would work

                          Hi

                          Dude, 20 bucks is a DEAl, besies, you'll always strip screws and then when people at the field strip screws you can help. I HATE SCREWS WHEN THEY STRIP MAN.

                                  Sometimes the allen head isn't stripped out, but rather your allen wrench head is. Try a new allen wrench and make sure it's fully seated in the screw head and try that. If that doesn't work, try the aforementioned suggestions.

                                          umm...

                                          hey, you might want to fix those screws on the sight rail...if the sight rail doesnt come off, you can get the body out from under neath it...sometimes you will NEED to take the body off for cleaning/ fixing reasons. Just a warning to save up that 20$ because you might not have the money to buy it later when its an emergency and you cant get your body off.... just a thought
