Works on every other kind of rail also. Usually! :-) And one should do it
that way! <br><br>

On replacing the screws in an aluminium rail, I find that turning the
screw backwards till it "clicks", and then go clockwise,
works.<br>

<dd>Hello Dale and Erwin also List<br>
<dd>I cannot say I like the Aluminum extruded action rail. Getting screws
back in them without cross-threading when in an awkward space is
difficult (to say the least) and I guess one only gets so many wrong goes
at this before the screw hole in the Aliminum rail is stripped. Then
what? With the S&S may I refer you to Reblitz eccellent answer? I
haven't had any problem with S&S to date...<br>

<dd> It works for me. If you can get it solid using this
method then go for it. I'd use JB weld for this repair.<br>

<dd>I'm not a fan of these rails and wish they would replace them with
flat rails.<br>
<dd>I noticed that new M&H's have a similar tubular rail. What are
they <br>
<dd>thinking % ?<br>
<dd>Can anyone espouse their benefit ?</font><br><br>

<dd> Rigidity , novelty ,but other systems are just as or
more rigid such as Yamaha Aluminum rails.<br>
