Had a rifle at my gunsmith getting a blue print on a 700 action. Apparently, he over torqued the Bottle Rocket onto the Cherry Bomb. Could not get the Bottle Rocket off by hand so I put a 1/2" socket on the end of it. The Cherry Bomb came off with the Bottle Rocket and is now stuck.
I have tried to contact Q twice now through their website customer support form. No reply and no phone contact listed.
Obviously, the Cherry Bomb is going to have to be mounted to something that will hold it in place and overcome the torque needed to separate it from the Bottle Rocket. This is a known problem to Q. The instruction manual cautions against screwing the two parts together before mounting because "they will get stuck". No advice on how to unstuck it however. This will be a loss of both parts if I can't get them apart. Imagine if the Cherry Bomb gets stuck in your Thunder Chicken or Trash Panda? Not good.
Any ideas? I'm going to my dealer today and see what he thinks.
Thanks,
Woolly
