How hard did you try to seat the doll's head by just turning the screws? Did tightening the screws without using the vise not do the job? By the way, congratulations.

You can put a floorplate onto an aluminum or wood block and use a plastic or leather hammer and small wood or aluminum blocks as bridges as needed, very easily bend parts of them that have been bent by improper removal. They bend very easily.

Bill, I had the screws as tight as I could get them before I tried the the vise. The screw slots were a little buggered when I got the gun so maybe if the slots were cleaner I could have brought the floorplate down with the screws I dont know. the vise worked well and it was nice not to have to remove the floor plate to do it. Although I could see how if you arent careful you could really screw up

Richard, How springy is the floor plate is it likely to bounce back to the way it was when I back out the screws?

It wouldn't matter to me because I would not take the gun apart as long as it was working.

Floor plates are not very 'springy' in my experience. They're very soft actually. However, If the screws are all that is keeping it from sticking up proud then it will likely spring up some when the screws are removed. I try to get them to sit in nice and flush without any screws in. You can sometimes see where they're warped by using a small steel straightedge across the bottom of the plate. Irregularities will show up pretty well
