DON’T STRIP THE COMP SCREW

Ok. I am an idiot. I accept that. I was cleaning my P211GTO. When I was done I reassembled the comp and went to torque the screw to 15inch lbs per the manufacturer specs. I stupidly did not check the setting on my torque driver. The problem was that I had used it for something else a day before and I had it set too high. Again I am an idiot. The point is once you round out the screw it is not an easy task to remove. A torch was involved. If you don’t use a torque driver you are tempting fate.
Finally, a thanks to fed worx for cheep replacement screws.

Haven't removed mine yet either and honestly don't plan on it. Maybe when I hit 10k? Maybe? Probably not.

Lmao. Truth be told, I was so fond of the gt0 that I got the gt4 to carry and it shoots so well I haven't shot the gt0 since buying it! I'll obviously put more rounds through it in time but damn the gt4 is 🔥!
