I have a feeling that the screw came from the factory cross-threaded and that's why he had such a problem with getting it loose and even unscrewing it any farther. He was straining just to get it to loosen up at all. We'll see what happens when it comes back from S&W. I'm certainly not going to take that one if it still has a problem with the take down screw. I just hate having to wait for something that should come from the factory ready to go.
