Best way to remove epoxied bases?
@ 02:20 am (GMT) |
Andrew DobbinHi guysMy new s111 arrived today, along with some posi-align rings and some new weaver bases. So I need to remove the old leupold bases that I epoxied on when I set up this rifle. I remember reading somewhere that steam is the best way to remove bases that have been epoxied on. Can someone please explain to me how to go about this. I'm guessing a pot on my primus should work. Thanks Andrew |
