Help drilling out a broken rmr screw

[McMillan]

Had a screw break that holds the MOS plate down on a gen 4 19. Tried to drill it out and got about 3/4 of the way and now can’t get the rest.

Can anyone help?

Maybe a real small tap or ez out. Small bladed screwdriver , torks gently used to back it out. I picked up a g40 with zev parts( like all!) with the same issue for $550. Luckly I got it out, chased the threads and was all good.

Tried all the above. Had some help at it also but just can’t get it.. my need a drill press and vise ? And some left handed bits? Idk. Looking for a savior I think lol

Finesse goes along way in these situations. I know my Finesse level sometimes is very low, everything becomes a nail. That's when I call in a specialist, the bride. Or put it down and look at it tomorrow.

Or just sell me the slide. Before it becomes a James paperweight.Lol. Problem solved!

 

[McMillan]

It will become a non mos backup before that sir lol

left/ counter clockwise drill bit with something to centralize the bit in the bore. I’ve extracted a lot of broken off stuff with that combo. Occasionally totally ruined stuff too.

It looks pretty biffed. Take rrr easy.

Ez outs are fairly cheap at home depot

Mercy, are those two diagonal holes you drilled? Add some AeroKroil while you are staring at it...

Oh dang, I wish I could help but aside from what you've done, I have no suggestions other than to add / soak it in some liquid wrench for a day and then maybe try again.

 

[McMillan]

Was given the idea to have a machine shop just drill and tap a larger hole

 

[JedClpIT]

You're going to laugh, but if those holes that you drilled come together somewhat, you might could wedge a sacrificial Allen wrench in there. Cut it down on the short end to hook the "90" in there between the holes and lock the long end in the chuck of a thread cutting tool. Soak it overnight and try in the morning... then throw it off a bridge when it doesn't work! Good luck.

The two holes started after the screw buggered. I’m not worried about the threads at this point, and if nothing works, a plate goes on and it’s a non mos for now lol

clamp two small allen wrenches or two small tempered steel bits together with vise grips and try twisting it out, after a soak overnight with liquid wrench

 

[fl57caveman]

try hitting the screw with canned air, to cool it off, maybe contract a hair

Get a helicoil in the proper thread size, using a drill press to keep it straight drill it out oversize to fit the helicoil and thread the hole, done,easy.
