A soldering iron tip held on the action screw works. If the screws are slot style, make sure to use a tight fitting, straight blade screwdriver tip. If they are Allen head, use a good fitting quality wrench like Eklind or Bondaus. -AlI acquired a rifle that some one loc tited the action screws. Any suggestions on how to remove the screws without buggering them up?
I do not know if they used red or blue.
Thanks in advance

and if they are allen, consider buying a NEW high quality allen wrench before you start -they do wear out over time.A soldering iron tip held on the action screw works.

Al,I can tell you they will surely gall when the owner mistakes lb./ft for lb./in. when torquing the bottom metal down.He felt bad when he brought it over but left happy. -Al
Bob, even a generic grade three 1/4-28 will take more than 50 lbs. Heck, we pick up compete race engines to go on the dyno with just four 5/16" carb mounting bolts holding a plate to the intake and an old serpentine drive belt on the hoist.Al,
my guess would be that a 1/4x28 screw would snap in two if 50 ft/lbs we’re applied. Either that or the allen head would strip out first.
Glad u were successful in getting those action screws removed.

where in the instructions does it say to let blue loctite dry first? It works wet and dry I thought.
