Screw won't come off grip

[Gun Parts & Accessories]

I tightened the screw on the grip so I can take pics to sell but when trying to take the screw off it won't screw off. The brass part I where circled turns also when trying to unscrew it. The left grip is free so I could Dremel or saw off the screw to free it, but I'd rather save the right grip if possible. Any help? Attached pics below

Can you put a little pressure in between the grips with a small screwdriver , putting pressure on the collet while unscrewing ir to hold it still ?? Or have u tried that?

Put a wedge in between the grips and then try again.

A good fork may work too….curved, multiple tines/pressure points

I don't have a wedge so I tried the forks but forkzilla was no match. I'm probably screwed.

Sounds like the threaded part, is turning in the grip. You could try applying a very small amount of superglue in the gap between it and the wood. V small drops with a pin !

Or you could steam it and see if the wood expands enough to grip it.

Use some thin walled tube to slip over the thread and press the threaded part down against the grip while unscrewing. Basically any way to stop the small brass nut turning.

Use a hacksaw blade to cut the screw, it can easily be replaced.

Sounds like the escutcheon, the threaded part, is turning in the grip. You could try applying a very small amount of superglue in the gap between it and the wood. V small drops with a pin !

I'll pass I don't want sell someone damaged goods I'm cutting the screw

I would at this point take above advice….either cut the screw and order a new one or put small drops of superglue on it. But keeping it off the screw threads will be risky

I sawed the screw off to free the left grip. The right one is basically trashed, going to post it on the free section.
