Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Replace FN SCAR torx with normal allen head screws?
Posted: 3/14/2018 2:07:39 PM EDT
Has anybody done this?  If so, specs to the replacement screws would be awesome.

I wouldn't. Most allen screw heads will strip faster than torx.

+1.... I have used Torx to remove stripped allen heads not the other way around. Why out of curiosity do you want to do this?

Don't do it.  Torx work better in the scar

Keep the Torx, if you're having trouble with them try using a tight fitting brand of bits such as Wiha or Wera.
