Front Frame Screw: HELP!!!

[mark_1791]

I am having trouble taking apart my mag. The problem is I can't get the front grip screw out. What kind of allen wrench does it take? I've been trying to get it out with a hex wrench, but I'm worried about the screw stripping, and then I wouldn't be able to remove it. Help me! I need to get it out so that I can install my new shadow rail!!!!

Looks like 1/8 size to me

I've tried a 1/8 and it doesnt fit.

Crap, that means the previous owner of my gun must have partially stripped the screw, because my 1/8" hex slips.

New question: if the screw is stripped so that I can't use a 1/8" allen wrench to remove it, how do I get it out?

get a new bolt and a dremel and cut the old head off.

There are several different stripped screw removers you can find at at local hardware stores.

If you just want to do it the ghetto way, saw a slot into the head of the screw and use a flathead screwdriver to get it out.

The AGD front frame screw most definitly uses a 1/8" allen key. As does the field strip screw, the velocity adjuster, and sear axle pin.

Hope you like that rail!

I've got about 3 of em, one in my room, one in the toolkit, and one in the gear bag. :)

All spray painted red so i can see em :)

Its also the same size for bottomline screws (dropforward attachting to the i-frame)
