Arhgh!#$&^@

[jive turkey]

Just got my RT pro and I gotta say, looooookin' goood! I decided to take off the the site rail because I didn't like the look and it just felt chunky. I'm on the LAST screw and the head strips. The thing is stainless steel! (looks like it) and it stripped?! Any ideas on how to get it out?

Screw-out stripped screw remover... you can get them at Sears.

Thats probably the best way to go about it. Would putting a dab of blue loctite on the end of the allen wrench and sticking it in the screw be a bad idea? I was considering that.

You probably hsoudnt use blue locite. You dont want the allen wrench getting stuck in the bolt and then you cant get it out, that would look even worse. But if you use it correctly it may help. Also, your best bet is thos stippred screw removers form sears.


Edit: I meant screws, not allen wrenchs.

Probably not, just because blue isn't that hard to break. You're probably better off with the screw-out.

no, because loctite is NOT glue.

if you have a dremel tool... put a slot in the head, and use a standard screwdriver to get it out. nuff said. --Dave
