    HELP! My mag still has a screw stuck in it

    Okay, I guess this is a question for a mag tech actually. I cannot get the grip frame/ body screw out. I have tried everything out. Everything but my extractor. Would it be covered in my star warranty(have four stars) or would it be better to do it myself? Thanks.

    Why wont it come out? Is the head of the screw stripped? If it is, you can try the loc-tite trick.

        Drill right into the middle of it. That works for most screws...

            If you can't get an extractor in, try drilling the head right off.
            Drill through the the hole in the bottom of the trigger gaurd with a bit just slightly larger than the thread diameter of the frame screw.
            Once youve drilled through the head, it will pop right off of the threads.
            Once you have the grip frame off, just use some vice grips to remove the rest of the screw.
            This has worked for me many times.
            Hope this helps.

              just turn it into a flat head screw by cutting the top with a cutting disc or a hack saw.
              As society and the problems that face it become more and more complex and machines become more and more intelligent, people will let machines make more of their decisions for them, simply because machine-made decisions will bring better results than man-made ones. Eventually a stage may be reached at which the decisions necessary to keep the system running will be so complex that human beings will be incapable of making them intelligently. At that stage the machines will be in effective control. People won't be able to just turn the machines off, because they will be so dependent on them that turning them off would amount to suicide

              sometimes I just freaking hate people. which means the next day I will love them for the sake of balance, but right now I will just concentrate on the hating. Hate hate hate. Blaaaarg! ;)
