[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 169466, member: 8843"] you mentioned having to get screws from Finland so I assume that your gun is a Sako and in that case you can get some replacement screws from Brownells if yours are to badly messed up. as for getting the rest of loctite outof the action which is in a blind hole , meaning their is a bottom to it , you need to use a bottom tap. Bottom taps are desgined to be used after a starter tape (the tapered one) to cut the threads to the bottom of the hole. You don't have to use a tap to get it out , if you don't have access to one then I would either find a screw of the same pitch and thread , heat it up pretty hot and run it in the hole this will destroy the remaining locktite and allow it to be removed. Loctite will not "reset" to its origional stregth at least. I know that their are many differant strengths of loctite , I would just find one thats a removable strength and stick with that when loctite is needed and its not needed on your action screws.
