[QUOTE="HeskethPritchard, post: 169410, member: 6757"] Guys I tried to take my stock off at the weekend and **** near destroyed my front screw trying to get it out, we had some serious screw drivers on the job and it wouldn't budge!! I made a few calls and found a guy who thought he could help me so off I trotted, rifle under my arm and THANKFULLY he managed to get it out. The last G'smith had loctite'd the screw in. The Loctite was a chocolate brown in colour although I cannot be certain if the colour had changed over the period it has been in situ and all the threads were covered in the stuff. I have three questions that I need your help on: 1. Do I need to use loctite? If so what colour or code do I use? 2. How do I get the Loctite off the threads and out of the threads in the hole? 3. I thought you were only supposed to torque up the screws to 85ft/lbs is this correct? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. HP [/QUOTE]
