Lol ok, sure.

If I stripped a bolt (or was dealing with one), why would I post a pic of it in its hole with its hex recess
intact and say, “This look ok to anyone?”
Like anyone could tell what you were talking about? A stripped bolt in that situation looks exactly the same as an undamaged bolt.

Initial reactions from people were they thought that the bolt was tamper resistant.
You said nothing to dispel those guesses.
Which strongly suggests that is what you thought too.
For example, below you didn’t even correct
@TylerN who suggests you should try to use a 4mm hex to loosen it. Any regular person would have immediately said, “No, it’s stripped. Read the thread title dumbass.”
Instead you “thumbed up”!

Below, same thing.
@ma smith posts a vid about tamper proof fasteners.

^ “Thumbs up” from @TheDude219
It took you until the 43rd post to say it’s stripped.
If the thread title always said “stripped”, why the heck would many people wonder if it is stripped?
As I said
here, you thought it was a tamper resistant bolt, didn’t even try to remove it, and posted a pic on the forum to complain.
Once it became apparent it was not what you thought it was, the backtracking began.
If the thread title was initially titled, “AXSR stripped screw for barrel change....”
literally no one would’ve jumped to the tamper resistant fastener diagnosis.
So, you changed the thread title.
The mods can see the history of changes to the thread, so don’t go there.
You made a mistake, like all of us do, only you’re dragging Eurooptic down with you to cover it up.
I get it, one gets a bit panicky and OCD with expensive stuff. I own an AIAX (from EO) and have sent pricy scopes back to them for minor stuff.
But if you’re wrong, man up and don’t drag (probably) innocent parties like EO down with you. Plus you are freaking out a few people that are thinking of buying an AI from EO.
It’s embarrassing.
