Remington Trigger Screws

[Hammer]

Guy's, I am in the middle of some trigger work but can not seem to get rid of the two part epoxy that the gunsmith used to set the screws.

There must be a simple way other than heat(which I did).

A good fitting screwdriver and a bit more heat ...

Remington trigger screws

Most hobby stores sell a debonder for crazy glue. This works....sometimes.

good shooting

Try a soldering iron with a pointed tip and put the heat right on the screw for a several seconds. It might come loose. Can't imagine why any smithy would use epoxy on screws though.

More heat(1100 watts) and stainless steel brush. The epoxy used was very good.

I understand why you can use the factory trigger down to about 1 3/4 to 2.0 pounds if you replace the trigger pull spring with a lighter one. Factory trigger pull spring went down to about 2.5 pounds.

I do not know how a gunsmith can make any money at this? I have done three today and it took about an hour each.

Thanks for the help.
