I used thread locker to secure base and rings on this rifle and am having a hard time removing them. Couldn't find any blue loctite, so used clear. It's made by surefire. Anybody know the best way to remove it? I sold the scope and am supposed to ship it tomorrow.

Do you have any plain acetone handy? Soak a cotton ball and dab the treated area liberally and use a toothbrush to remove the shreds of dissolved glue that come off...
I can't get the cap off the turret to replace the battery either. Think I may have used the thread locker on that too. So soldering iron?
This is the right answer. If this doesn’t work, then try a cutting torch.
Lowe's didn't have any blue lock tight?
Ask the buyer if they want a rifle to go with the scope?

I think TBAC guys here mentioned rocksett only having the strength of blue loctite but with the heat resistance. If that’s the case it should remove with a bit of force. Otherwise soaking it in warm water may do it. Could always run the area under hot water for a bit to see if that helps
As for the battery cap I definitely wouldn’t have used anything on that. But same principle should apply for removing
If it’s actually rocksett

Anybody know how long a scope can be submerged in boiling hot water? It's a vortex if that makes a difference.
Who cares, Vortex has a stellar warranty...
Thread locker on the battery cap too?
I hope the buyer's not a member here coming across this thread.

No. I don't have impact rated reducers to get down to 1/4" drive.
Chrome will get you home. It’ll be alright
I have a metal cutting bandsaw. Send it in over and I’ll cut that shit off for the small fee of $2,999.99.
This. This option looks like the most funThat
Or
So by this time surely you’ve boiled the scope, stripped the heads or cut/drilled it off
What’s the current status?
Trying to figure out how to delete a thread. Do you know how?
yeah, but we're not telling.........
Ask Frank... i know he takes real kindly to such fuckery....
"yea ill delete it and heres a 30 day ban also"
Boil it. Don’t be a pussy.
Also, throw an Arken in the pot so we can settle this debate once and for all.
That fuhq dude isn’t going to be happy with you
If we start shearing 1/4 drive tooling on some 1/8” fasteners we have bigger problems
I've done that before trying to get off a small fastener on my car. Used some bargain bin sockets on a small electric impact drill. Instantly broke like a fortune cookie, tasted weird but maybe that's someone else's flavor.
