I bought an Umbrella Corp grip as part of an upgrade I was doing on my AR (Spikes lower/BCM upper). I got the grip on, then decided I wasn't liking it as much as I thought I would. However when trying to get the screw out, it seized up about 1-2 turns out. The philips slots stripped out almost immediately... so now I'm stuck.
I have an easy-out kit, but the screw really isn't that meaty to get a good solid hold with the easy-out. I was using the screw supplied with the grip and it had a reddish locktite/threadlocker treatment on it. I'm wondering WTH it was now. It went on easy enough when I installed the grip and I doubt it cross threaded the lower threads.
I am thinking I will have to cut the grip off to get access to the screw... then try vice grips and then the easy-out if the head pulls off...
Any other ideas? I've already soaked it in WD40 without any luck.
Thanks
