Before I really screw something up, how do you remove the epoxy from the weight adjustment screw on the MOA trigger?

Citistrip will soften it enough so you can pick it off.

No Citistrip on hand so I'll try a heat gun.

Thanks.

Ooooo, paint remover! Since I've never spilled any on a bedding job, I'd never thought of that.
Taking down an X Mark, I used a torch and a hex wrench "conductor" to toast the screw without hurting any springs. Tricky, but effective enough.

Have you tried picking it out yet? I was lucky. Using the tip of a razor blade, I was able to pick the epoxy out prior to using any products. Honestly, it was almost too easy. Kind of surprised me. Good luck.

An old dental pick generally works. If not, hit the blob with the tip of a soldering pencil?


If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.
