    2 hour old Remmy LTR DISSAPOINTMENTS!

    I guess somebody decided overtightening and cross threading a thread protection screw would be a good idea. Check out the damage on that thing! I do not really feel like having them tapped out, just want to keep my Badger stuff factory. Here are some photos.
