Dumb beginner stock removal question. I have a LWRC 18 inch Rifle length target model AR. It is new and came with a Magpul MOE fixed rifle stock on it. I bought an A2 to replace the MOE, but I cannot get the rear screw to budge. I’ve started messing up the slot a little and need some help. I’m pretty sure they loctite the screw so it will need to be heated. Is a hair dryer enough on the screw head? Do I need a heat gun or propane torch? If so how do I not damage the polymer? Is there something I’m missing here
Thanks for any help.
