Stripped screws

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello!  I have an old m98 that needs stripped and cleaned very badly.  The only problem is, the screws on teh outside are stripped.  The alan wrench just strips it more if I try to unscrew it.  I was thinking of using a dremel to cut a stright line on top of the screw then use a flat head screw driver to remove it.  Before i mess anything up, i wanted to see if anyone has any idea. 

thanks a lot

	Go to your local hardware store and buy a set of screwouts or drill out the screws, either way you will have to get new screws. Also, while your at it buy a high quality set of allen wrenches, it will save to time and hastle. Look here for more help. And next time search before you post, this has been covered many times before. Edited by iceman1186 - 22 May 2006 at 1:24am
