Thread: Help! Stuck action screw

Otherwise if you can't slit the head with a angle grinder and cutting disk and use a flat head
This is easy to do but easily fucked up if not careful and best done with a almost worn out cutting disk

Or drill a small hole and wind In an easy out

Have used left hand drill bits for this type of stuff with great success, drill a small hole first and then step up a size and it’ll bite and unwind.

grind center out use a allen key or torks with tinfoil around it.

Kimber?

Frequently results in broken EZ-Out embedded in the stuck bolt...which is still stuck!

Yep. Rifle arrived to my ownership allready stuck. All sorted now though, got new action screws through the importer and used a stud/screw remover and a big ass wrench.

New bolts are toured to spec haha. Interestingly the recommended action screw torques are quite sedate at 35ftlb for the rear and 45 ftlb for the front.

I'd double check those torque specs I'd reckon it would be inch pounds more likley
