[QUOTE="Kroberts, post: 966529, member: 71507"] I was working on bedding a new laminate stock for my savage and took everything off the action except the picitanny base. I tried to take it of but using the allen wrench supplied with the base I could not budge the screws and even broke off the head of the wrench in a screw, so the base is now staying. I have used blue locktite in the past with good results, but had heard of using clear nail polish, and had some on hand so I used it as a thread locker. I blame that stuff. I don't need the base off any time soon, so it's not a big deal. But for when I do, does anyone have any advice on how to get the screws out and get the wrench head out of the screw? I can always drill out the screws if necessary. Oh and the bedding job turned out well, though I did have one issue with the bedding compound going up the front action screw and temporarily locking the stock and action together. Thanks for all advice. Kyle [/QUOTE]
