Once the screws are removed, I would buy a screw set from Galazan. I prefer to restore screws by peening and filing, but the screw you describe sounds hopeless.

Yeah its so worn out, I will probably have to put a screw in the top of it to try and unscrew it. Thats if Rick wants to go to the trouble.

A photo of this buggered pin (screw) would be helpful.
But lacking that, and if you want the screw out without damaging the rest of the bottom plate, I'd take the gun to Briley's in Houston. They can get it out for a small fee. And it might be a whole lot less than fixing any damage you may inadvertently cause. |

Thanks John. I hadn't thought about telling him to go to Brileys. Freer gun shop might be able to do that as well. Thanks for the assist.

Bill, how much trouble are fitting those screws from Galazan? We have no experience with this type of stuff.

The Galazan screws, as with any screws are high headed. They need to be fitted for both screw slot alignment and also head height.

Thx Brian, I managed to find an old post of your advising the use of a cordless drill to file off the bottom of the screw head. Was this using a metal file or a flat head screw driver?

I have a small ratchet that is in the Chapman screw driver set. It fits right over the Chapman and Brownells bits right down to the blade of the bit. Then the screw driver handle can go over it to help hold it straight. The torque is then applied right to the screw close to it with the ratchet which prevents the blade from turning out and buggering it more. I have removed very buggered screws frozen in place and even the dreaded roll pin screws, and have yet to have one I could not break in this manner.
It does not slip out when this method is used as it does when the torque is at the top of the screwdriver handle. A two person job to prevent damage though. |
