A torch is a necessary evil, but if the flame is adjusted properly the heat can be concentrated pretty accurately on the bolt head. The rifle scope screws I deal with are either #6 or #8, with very little metal mass around them. A flywheel will wick the heat away faster than a soldering iron can produce it. Jerry
