Removing Outdoorsmans Stud From Swaro NL's

[pjohnson8168]

Has anyone done this...any tips or tricks to help it come out? Would hate to do it if there is a possibility of any damage.

Thanks

Is it the new style 2 pieces NL pure stud, or just the old style threaded stud?

The original stud

There’s nothing special to that one. Just put the proper sized Allen inside it and loosen it. You can’t really support the bino or housing in any special way, so just pop her loose…. Hopefully lol

Hopefully lol

Yeah hopefully! They were supplied with Loctite for installation so it’ll depend on if that was used or not and if the Loctite worked or not. OP good luck!

IIRC it was blue loc time with mine. Like stated, should just be the proper sized Allen and a little force.

This is one of those things where even though it calls for Loctite I would be fine just snugging up occasionally. I do that with a lot of things that I don't want issues with removing.

Awesome, thanks guys, I got it....just needed a little assurance I wouldnt f%^k anything up, I am pretty good at doing that with these delicate jobs.

Reasoned I asked what style, is my new style stud seized together on a new pair of NL’s and I couldn’t get it apart. Had to send it in and pay $300. So I’m right there with you

Damn, was that from outdoorsman’s?

Yeah. Wasn’t their fault though. The new design is dumb as hell. I tightened the dog shit out of it because I don’t want my stuff coming loose in the field.

WELL, then the actual internal housing came loose inside the binos (not outdoorsmans fault) and I couldn’t get the damn stud back off. Stainless on stainless bound to together too much.

A bunch of new style NL’s from the first batch had internals come loose. I was just lucky enough to not be able to get my stud off before I sent them back, so they got to blame it on me and charge me lol
