[QUOTE="257WTBY, post: 1387393, member: 56428"] So I bought a tikka ctr off someone and I was going to put a 20 moa rail on. I read about removing factory rails on tikkas. I used an iron on top of the rail to heat up the factory stuff they put on to secure the rail. I started at the rear of picatinny rail both rear screws were tight but came out easier then I expected. The front two turned super easy and didn't back out. So I grabbed the hot rail and lifted up it came off but the front two rail screws are broke off flush with top of receiver. Grrrr. I looked at the rail and it seems the heads of the screws were broke already and someone tried adhesive of some type the heads back on I mean it was gooped in the rail. Anyhow how do u recommend getting the broken screws out. Should I just bite the bullet and take it to a gunsmith? That's another problem who knows a good gunsmith in Spokane Wa area that doesn't take 3 months to get two screws out? Thank you in advance for any advice or recommendations. Billy [/QUOTE]
