Screw stuck in place

I have not had any problems with the MM security screws at all, and I don’t use anything on the threads. I also do not use a padlock ever, so there is no risk of thread damage from that. I do have mine countersunk, which means there is essentially no strain on the screw at all, and I have worn mine for weeks without the screw coming loose at all.

I suppose it’s Avery good thing I’ve had no issues with the screw. With it being countersunk pliers and such won’t work. I’d probably need a screw remover from Home Depot and THAT would be a challenge with such a small stainless steel screw so close to sensitive areas and an awkward reach solo. My wife would probably be laughing too hard to help! LOL

FYI, MM uses a standard 8-32 thread, so you could replace it with any stainless screw of that size, including some of the tamper resistant styles you can find on the net.

Was you're countersink done by MM as special modification?

Yes, MM did it. They also will grind down the diameter of the security screw head so the countersinking hole is smaller for a better fit between cage and ring.
