[QUOTE="Chowitt87, post: 2986922, member: 125155"] This is my first post although I have been reading around for years on the forum. My father passed away earlier this year and I inherited his gun collection. Here and there I have been cleaning things, modifying them, making them correct, updating and so on. The latest project is a Ruger American Predator that he bedded into a Boyd's stock. A time ago there was a sale on the stocks so I bought one and he bought one for each of our Americans. I bedded mine and it turned out good for my first go at it...his on the other hand not so much. Today I was going to disassemble and clean the rifle and noticed the front trigger guard screw stripped. After multiple attempts to remove it I broke the plastic trigger guard on purpose for better access to the screw. That's when i noticed the epoxy bedding was all the way up to under the trigger guard. I am assuming he didn't use the right release agent because it is stuck. Is there a way to remove a screw that is epoxied in? I rather not but I am not against cutting the stock to pieces to get it off, then worry about the action screw later. [/QUOTE]
