    methylene chloride This is what is recommended by Henkel. I have no first hand knowledge other than calling Henkel customer service.

    Cheers, Steve

    I didn't know it had happened, and the parent my daughter came and got the kid. I didn't get back to the gun for 3 days. Now my trigger is loctited in place.
    This is Eurodriver material.

    Acetone in an ultra sonic cleaner.

    Wanted to give an update.

    Soak the lower in Acetone for in the end 2 days, then ran the ultrasonic cleaner for like 6 hours.

    No joy,

    So I just ordered Methylene Chloride which is what the company that owns loctite said will work.

    Will keep everyone posted

    I’d use this as an opportunity to upgrade to the G trigger of your choice!

    Good luck, sounds like quite the mess.

    It is a mess, I cant even take the timney trigger out.

    If the Methylene Chloride doesn't work I am going to cut the lower into pieces.

    If the Methylene Chloride doesn’t work, try baking it in a bearing warmer (or an old oven) at 450 for 20-30min before you cut it up. Disassemble while it is still too hot too hold.
