I used some Loctite 2 part epoxy to bond an aluminum scope base (I also used the provided screws) to the barrel of a single shot rifle. Both the scope base and rifle came from the same manufacturer. So i assumed they would fit together.
I got everything tightened down with the screws. And the epoxy was cured.
When I was starting to mount the scope it didn't look correct. It looked like the scope was sitting at an angle. The front being high. LSS the fold down sight didn't fold down far enough. An the scope base that sat suspended above the barrel was tight on the sight.
My question. What is the easiest and safest way to break the epoxy bond between the aluminum mount and the steel barrel?
