I noticed that the screw heads were shaped a little funny but figured it was just cosmetic. I'm pretty good about not over gorilla tightening screws in, they both snapped off as soon as it hit a little resistance
were brand new screws and hand guard too.
Fortunately they shouldn't be too tight, there a small drop of vibra tite vc3 on each screw so that shouldn't be difficult to work through.
ETA: that's and Aero Quantum Handguard
Do they make easy outs this small?
