I own a 'Colt' Government Model .22 1911 clone pistol. One of the newer Umarex/Walther made versions(pot-metal).
Anyhow..I went to remove the plastic grips to install a cool set of fancy checked walnut I had on hand. First screw came loose grip bushing and all!
The other screws came out fine..but the one screw is firmly stuck in the bushing(and grip)....No real way to hold the bushing without potentially buggering the threads. All I can see to do is clean the frame threads and bushing threads and add a bit of loc-tite...put it back together and let the bushing/frame loc-tite dry..then see if the screw will come free from the bushing.
Anybody have a better idea to deal with a stuck in the bushing grip screw?
