Removing epoxy - 09/02/19
I accidentally reversed the front and rear stock screws on my Marlin MLSS-50 and wound up breaking the tang that holds the safety button. Tried to epoxy it back together (using JB Weld), but it wouldn't hold. The surfaces that I need to glue together are very small which further complicates matters. The trigger/safety assembly looks like cast aluminum and Marlin discontinued it years ago, so finding a replacement trigger assembly seems doubtful. If I can get the mating surfaces clean I thought I would try Loctite Black Max, which has worked very well for front sight ramps. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
