Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - PS90 Pic rail removal, screws super tight!
Posted: 10/23/2018 10:51:42 PM EDT
If you removed your rail (recent import pic rail, not optics) from your PS90, did you find that the hex screws (3mm) were unusually tight?  They are so tight, that I feel that I'm about to strip the heads, or twist my hex keys.

Just add more power, or is something crazy going on like LH threads?

Yup. Super tight.The rear one, anyway. Front one was a little tight but came out fine. Rear one, torqued it so hard it stripped the head. Common problem from what I read. A stripped screw extractor pulled it right out.

No reverse threads or anything. Just torque the hell out of it with the right size wrench and hope for the best. And have a screw extractor.

Ok, it looks like I'm going to have to pick up a 3 mm extended hex socket (as opposed to a key) with a good warranty.

Welp, I had the same outcome. The front came out fine, but the rear stripped.  Next stop, extractors...
