Stripped screws

[A damn fool]

What is the best way to get a stripped allen key screw out of my gun?

Take it to an airsmith, they have proper tools for doing this, or you could apply some loctite to your allen key and let it set in the screw then unscrew it. Afterwards, the loctite will come right off the allen key with a little heat I believe. Make sure you get the strong stuff though, not sure if it's red that's strong, or blue... maybe someone else knows

With a saw, cut a groove in the screw. The groove has to be big enough for a screwdriver to fit in. Then put the screw driver in and unscrew :).

Yes, but without the proper tools (hence the airsmith comment) you're going to chop up your gun in the process and totally and completely screw your anno up :)

Black loctite is strongest but won't come off :). Try red.

Ya, you're right..but if it's on the bottom of the grip, oh well.

WAIT! You need the BLUE loctite! That is, if you ever wanna unscrew it again.

The problem is its the screw on my grips on the intimidaotr (twich u shoudl know what im talking about) Its on the lcd side, in the middle on the right, so its covered by the grip, and has the grip rame on one side.

Im afraid to use the lock tight becasue its such a small screw head, if drips down, ill never get it out. Would something not as strong work, like epoxy or super glue?

lightly coat the tip of your allen key with blue loctite and jam it in :D
