Fix my gun Help with screw removal!
Update
I drilled those screws out, 3 of them came out easily enough that I think I did not mess up the threads. I only botched 1. I am sure 3 screws and some locktight mixed with hope will hold the rail in place
Just got myself a Mossberg 590 Shockwave. Want to mount a laser/red dot on top of the receiver but not sure what type of screw these are. Internet says they should be flathead but they are clearly not. Can someone help with some tips please?

Damn they're all like that? Who ever you bought that from is a supreme idiot. They're probably stuck in place with loctite, god forgbid they're the wrong thread pitch. If a screw extractor isn't working you need heat. Depending ln the hardness of the screw you'll want to get Irwin brand, jumbo flute, screw extractors for the hardest metal (such as stainless). If they're just mild steel you can get the surprisingly great topec brand from amazon.
