That itty bitty optic screw is going to cost me!!!
Bought a P365 Macro with an EPS carry on it for a nice price.
Man, those screws are tiny and quite frankly scared me a little bit. But I have a nice driver kit no no big deal.
WRONG!!
Screws made of butter it would seem. There was about zero resistance and just spun.

The screws are way too close to the optic glass for any of my extractors to work.
I don’t have a drill press and no way I am going to try it with my hand drill to drill the head off the screw and hope I don’t get into the optic and then hope I could get enough grip on the screw to remove it with some needle nose vise grips.

Dropped it off with a professional to pay a professional price.

One of the reasons that I do not have any optics on my pistols. The screws are so damn small they are hard to see, let alone very easy to strip out! Not made for old curmudgeons with bad eyesight and arthritic hands Smile
