Theo Carter Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I have a Trubor and I would like to know if there is a trick to removing the scope mount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric nielsen Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Assuming you're talking about hex screws & loctite: Take the slide off the frame. Get a lighter to heat up the threads from the INSIDE - interior of the dust-cover area. A long-snout lighter like my wife uses to light candles is the easiest. [you don't need a torch] Get the hex wrench on the face of the screw while you get a little flame on the other end that's inside the dust cover. That's it. The hardest one will be the screw going into the frame-ramp area. The mount should now swivel since you're on the last screw. Swivel the scope up a little & put a little extra heat on the last screw. It should pop loose & unscrew. Clean out the screw-holes with q-tip & brake cleaner, same for the screws if they are to be used again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Front Man Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Before reassembly I use LOCK TITE KLEAN 'N PRIME (37509) in the female threads. Good stuff! FM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jostein jensen Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 does the gun need to be zero'ed again after scope mount removal/installation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruStreet Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 does the gun need to be zero'ed again after scope mount removal/installation? In my case it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I used a soldering iron to heat the hex screw heads. I had to re-zero. Glen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
