Ok hive, help me out. This is the safety on my Mossberg 500. I'm trying to replace the safety switch but it's got one of these goofy tamper resistant screws in it. How do I remove it?  |

Quoted:
It's a Mossburg. Usually after a few good range sessions, the safety breaks and falls off. Just give it time. Did you pull the trigger group and look at it from inside the action? I can't remember if you can get it off that way or not. Does that really happen? I've had around 7,500 rounds through mine and haven't had that issue yet... |

Both my Mossbergs have a couple of K thought them, no issues here

If it will break off easily do so. Make the slot deeper and you can catch it with a screwdriver. . Use a file, or a dremel. If you do a good job you can cold blue it and reuse the screw. |

Both breach guns in less than a week of each other. Kinda did it for me. |
| When you get the correct tool to get the screw off, be careful when you loosen it. Parts will fall out from inside the receiver if you're not careful. Makes it a bit tough to get things back together if you don't see how they come apart. A dab of Loctite on the way together is a simple solution to a common problem. |

Yep, keep an eye on the detent ball. |
