stuck screws & studs
 
So... somehow the action bolts on a rifle got too tight... when unscrewed, the studs they screw into got unscrewed from the action.

Was suggested on a spoon forum to put nail polish on the threads, get 'em back into the action, and then trying to unscrew.

No joy.


Do I go for locktite instead? What color?

Or do I say screw it, order new studs and screws, and dremel the old ones so I can get the magazine plate and trigger guard off?

all thread sealants will break free under heat. look p vibratight. It's my go-to for items not getting too warm.
