Umm I have never had a problem with it, but I'm sure I don't shoot as well as you all do so I may not notice it. Tell me what you think?

Yes Sir, been known to be good with a HS drill, scalpel, currete, needle, custom wax creations and castings, or "dremmel" work. Some of my "cliente femenino" even call me an "artista"! :D

If its broke, made of metal/wood/plastic/composite, then I probably have something in my lab that I can rig to fix it or make a new one. Although, my version of the dremmel is a little pricier at work (@$800.00).

Smokin Joe,

Will look at the new pics. Maybe something can be tried easier than drilling out and retapping the threads.

Thanks Sacemulas,

I have more up close photos of my little blunder it you would like.

Joe-

Looking from the top, how far down is the bolt broken off? Is it still sticking up into the top overlaying cover that is clamped down to hold the sight in place? Or is it broken off own into the actual lower portion of the mount?

A screw extractor should do the job.

Uhh...

What does it look like from the side if you take the other three screws out and the top half off?

Other choice is an EZE-Out, and I hate them.

BTW, that ring shaped mark down inside the screw hole is where the Torx screw bottomed out. That would probably have been a good place to stop, Zog.:D

Looks like TR and I are thinking the same way...

Just to clarify my prior posted questions:
If you take off the top half, is there any part of the bolt sticking out? Is it at least flush with the top of the lower half where you could cut a sclice into it with the top portion removed?


James.... come on. You have to get your SF mindset warmed up. We are working this in NDD's favorite UWOA type environment. ;) LOL Well, at least in the don't have access to Sears and likely have to rethread the mount scenario.
Just kidding... good suggestion. I have never used a screw remover like in your link.

EZE-outs are a pain to use, especially is you are using them with a hand drill. Now if you had a vertical milling maching or drill press it would be much easier.

Sacamuelas: I know you are not trying to pull out the UWOA card after making a recommendation to use a dremmel tool.

What I meant by "dremmel" was a stone sharpened hacksaw blade run on pure old fashioned elbow grease power.... ;)

You know I was kidding cric.

Side view

Here is what I was referring to Joe.

As you can see Sacemulas I'm f*cked I have to drill it out.

Joe,

You shoudl be still able to get enough of an angle to cut into the screw to make a trench to put a small screw driver in.
