I've got the ARMS Aimpoint QD mount and riser. I used the loc-tite that came with the mount and loc-tited the riser to the mount. What do I do to take it off? I'm mounting it onto a BB gun and I want to know if it's worth paying $50 for some "knock-off" mount or, simply taking the riser off. Can it be heated with a lighter without harming the finish? |

Was it blue loc-tite? Blue loc-tite on threads, use the right sized tool with a good handle and give it a hard twist. Blue loc-tite holding the surfaces together, use a vice and brass hammer. A good strike in the sheer direction, and it should come off. Red loc-tite, maybe a thermo-nuclear blast. |
I know that isn't true. I've removed a paint-ball feed neck with red loc-tite on it. It just took a lighter, heated it up - and screwed it right out...
Can that be done with a common cigarette lighter? *No, I don't smoke* Will it harm the finish if it is heated to that temperature? |
