New JP 6.5 Grendel upper

[Jaytrigger]

What is the best way to loosen up these allen screwes to pul the handguard off (i want a different handguard).
They are incredibly tight and will not budge one bit. I sprayed Kroil on all of them and let them sit but no avail yet.

Any Ideas?

I'd guess they have thread lock of some type on them so probably adding some heat would be the best way.

If you have a heat gun use that if not use a blow dryer. Getting them hot should soften the locktite enough to get the screws out.

If you have a soldering iron. You can heat the screw for a tad bit and soften the loctite. It should start softening at 500 degrees F. Don't use a hand torch because that will put too much heat into the hand guard and possibly barrel. But clean the Kroil off before heating just in case you hit it's flash point.
