Stripped or sheared optic screws? Don’t replace your entire slide—let us save it.
At Shepard Arms, we now offer precision laser screw extraction for just $50 per screw. When screws shear off during optic installations—often from improper torque or Loctite misuse—most shops will recommend drilling, welding, or re-tapping, costing you hundreds with no guarantee of success.
Our method is different:
We use our fiber laser to precisely engrave a flathead slot into the exposed screw remnant. This not only breaks the Loctite bond but also allows for clean extraction using fine-tip screwdrivers—no damage to your slide, no need for re-threading.
Whether it’s a DIY mistake or a botched job from another shop, we can fix it fast, clean, and affordably.
