Take gas through off?

[ShhBeQuiet9772]

how do you take a gas through off of a am/mm rail? mine seems to be stuck or i just have no clue how to take it off

edit::i just put the hex on there and got some pliers and used pure brute strength to wrench it free!!!!!! but anyways it was that easy for anyone that has this problem

There's a screw that holds it in place.

well damn that screw is in there tight as hell, any advice how to get it off... a hex and what else should i use?

[TheAngryDrunkenRussian]

is it rusted in or lock tight?

[ShhBeQuiet9772]

all i know is i cant unscrew it. doesnt seem to be rusted i mean there are no signs of it

Be careful or you will round out the inside of the hex and that my friend Sucks. BUT......
If you do and you can find another screw to replace it this is what I have to do a times.:

One, if you have a DREMEL Use itto make a slot in the bolt head. and get the lagrest stanadard screwdriver you have and "Beast" it out. If you dont have a dremel GET ONE they ARE the most useful tool EVER. I am OFTEN Quoted " you can do ANYTHING with a Dremel except hammer"

Two, use the easy outs (SCREW OUT) from SEARS for scwews($10.00 a set) put one that fits in to the hex on a power screwdriver and happiness. BTW Their Bolt Out set are AWSOME!
They cut HOURS off my car repairs.
Hope this helped,

check the thread and see if anybody misthreaded it. I've had mine stuck on before from crusted paint but not that bad

[SummaryJudgement]

Don't strip it (I mean the interior surface where the allen wrench meets the socket)! I did that on my first RT Pro and boy was that a pain in the tuckus!

To save the screw and yourself, do one of the following:

1. Get a 1-2 quart size pot and boil some water in it. Dissasemble your Mag so you are just holding the rail with the fore grip on it. Hopefully the pot is big enough for you to put the grip and the front of your rail in so it will heat up. If there is locktight on it, this will help to make it easier to unscrew. **There is no time limit on how long to keep the goods in the water. Just use common sense and leave it long enough to really heat it up.

2. Get a small butane torch and gently heat the screw. This will provid the same effect as above, but in a more concentrated area.

These may work if you haven't already stripped the screw head and if it is not cross-threaded. If you have stripped it or it is cross't then you are in for a lot of fun trying to get it off.

You actually want to heat the gasthru, not the screw. Heating the screw will make it expand, and all the harder to remove. Heating the gasthru with expand it, loosening its grip on the screw. The real solution is to not tighten them so bloody much.

Tom doesn't use stainless steel for the screws, so they WILL rust. It may not have anything to do with tightening.
