Shadow 2 mag release paddle removal

[chomorro]

Well I attempted to remove my mag release paddle.  I knew it would be tough so I went real slow with pressure and heat and the screw still started to strip so I stopped.

I'm sure the screw is toast now why is ok, since I'm replacing the paddle and screw.

So advice in how to get it off now?  I was going to super glue a bit to it lol or just drop it off at the gunsmith....... I was going to try a dremel and make a slot but that would ruin the paddle which I dont want to do.

I would try heating the scerw up. Then use an easy out. I have read that CZ locktites the screw in the S2 mag release.

I found a few threads were people used a soldering iron to hear it up.   I don't think my heatgun got it hot enough so I will try that today

IMO a soldering iron is the best way to apply direct heat.  Better than a heat gun or even a torch.

I stripped it completely out lol.   Took it to the Smith and they got it off no problem and didnt even charge me!

Nice, glad that you got it handled. Gunsmiths usually have a bag of neat tricks.
