The screw head is knackered on the back grip frame screw on my Angel 06, almost perfectly rounded out the head.
Any tips on removing this so I can get my grip frame off?
Also can anyone sell me a grip frame screw?

Cheers,
Ahdinko.

The easiest way to get it out is with a centre punch and a hammer. If you know what a centre punch is i can help.
And i have the screws.

I do know what a centre punch and hammer are, and I do have access to both.
You did send me a screw a month or two back but it never arrived, that or I have suffered from complete memory loss (likely) and forgot about recieving it and where I put it :confused:
If you could detail me up on how this centre punch dealie is going to work, since i dont see how making a big dent in the screw is going to help me yet :p
And give me your paypal and i'll send you a quid for the postage, you sent one before but I guess it never turned up. As you didn't make me pay that time, I'll pay this time :)

I was assessing your practical ability, with the centre punch knowledge.

Right here goes..

What you're going to do is with the marker upside down, make a centre punch mark about 1-2mm in from the outside edge of the screw at 1 o'clock if 12 o'clock is facing the grip frame. Then lay it down on its side and place the centre punch into the mark you made at a 45 degree angle to the marker, and tap the punch anticlockwise sharply and the screw will loosen.

It always works, and i'll send you a new screw.
