[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1053909, member: 77249"] My favorite tool is a Propane Torch with one of the copper soldering tips in place on the torch burner. With this set up no flame contacts any of the metal. Just the solder tip and it to the screw. This will allow a lot of heat to be put on the screw head quickly without affecting the scope base or the action. The solder tip I have I bought about 1967 not sure they are still sold. As a police armor I worked on a lot of guns I had no history on so it was always heat first then wrench. Good Luck with this project. [/QUOTE]
