I removed my SSH’s rail about two or three weeks ago and installed a Lobos mount and red dot. Function checked after installing both the mount and the dot. No issues.

I ordered the set screws from Ruger to fill the other two holes and they were delivered Saturday, so last night I installed them. The front screw sat flush with top of the upper, the rear screw I thought was flush, but it looks like I missed the mark and needed to back it out maybe a turn or two. That screw stripped so easily that I can’t even get it to back out at all.

Now I can’t pull the damn bolt back. I don’t want to force it in case that rear screw is interfering somehow, but would that much of a difference of depth affect it?

I tried inserting an empty magazine and making sure it was seated (as a Google search recommended) but no dice. I can’t field strip it because I can’t open the bolt.

Maybe I carbon welded it? I haven’t cleaned it in about 200 rounds of Mini Mags with an OCL Ti on it. Would letting it sit for over two weeks really lock the bolt up that much? The magwell is pretty dirty.

I’m very familiar with the platform and internals, but not necessarily troubleshooting issues like this.

Any advice would be appreciated before I reach out to Ruger, which they’ll probably have me send it in and I hate firearm companies turnaround times. I might end up sending it in anyway because their screws fing suck.

Thanks, all.

I’m all set on WMLs for now, but ran across this browsing Midway’s clearance offerings. 10 left at time of posting.

Bought one used online w/AEMS. It’s in great condition. What I didn’t know was that it was kitted out with some cool extras like a Ripstick and 1913 side rails, amongst some other upgrades.

That said, I had already ordered a TacDev Halo M-Lok and one of their gas pedals.

They’re sitting here in unopened packaging, but since I bought them on sale, TacDev won’t issue a refund. So they’re just sitting here. Just sayin’

Picked up a used full size P320 Raider and I’m getting stovepipes on pretty much every round I put through it when I run a Spectre 9 and 147 subs. Runs great unsuppressed. So I’m wondering if I should drop $130 on DPM or about $60 on the AC kit w/ additional 11lb spring. Thoughts? Thanks!

So, I have a 365 fuse I want to convert to a sandbox build. Other than the FCU, Slide/Optic, barrel +RA and Spectre 9 can I’ll have on it, what are the needed and optional (but cool, because let’s be honest, that’s why I’m going to spend the money and if I didn’t already have a 365, I’d be all in on a 320 build) accessories or upgrades for the Flux platform? I’m good on the internals of the 365, just need to know what else to expect to spend money on.
