  • Rounded off screw

    Hi Guys,

    The rear stock screw on my JG Bar 10 has rounded off slightly, making it impossible to undo ( I did it up very tight as the previous owner recommended it). Anyway, I can't undo it with a allen key as it just slips......

    Any suggestions on how to get it out?

    Also, does anyone know where I can get some QUALITY replacements?

    Cheers and ATB

    Just because you can doesn't mean you should......

      You tried using a star shaped screwdriver of the same size. That's worked for me a few times.

      That or plyers and persistence

        You could try using a hacksaw to cut a slot in the screw head and use a flathead screwdriver.

        Or you can get a drill bit that removes rounded off screws.

        Either way it will destroy the screw.

          Ok, Thanks guys. I will try all of the above.

          Where can I get a replacement? Possible a replacement for the front screw too....
