mertbl Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I have an old shrike model that has not aged well and I need to replace his lightning claw. What is the best way to remove the old arm?

Stercus Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Razor saw. They cut literally anything and are pretty easy to use.

Isolia Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) Razor saw. They cut literally anything and are pretty easy to use.I second that. If it is the glued arm, superglue is quite brittle especially when cold, so I'd suggest a half hour stay in the freezer and a gentle snapping off of said arm (holding pieces with a cloth so as not to damage detail on the pewter) Edited July 22, 2017 by Isolia Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/336980-best-tool-to-remove-metal-arm/#findComment-4828300 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about literally everything, but most hobby materials should be fine.

Cloud Runner Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 As an alternative to the razor saw (which is great, though sometimes heavy) I would suggest a jewellers saw like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Faithfull-FAIPRS-TB-Piercing-Saw/dp/B000297TEY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1500900711&sr=8-1&keywords=jewellers+saw Able to get into fine areas, and doesn't obliterate so much detail - takes a little more care to use (the blades can snap very easily) but it's brilliant for getting into hard to reach areas.
