Yes - very lucky...

Good job... lucky you... if it was that loose I wonder if you coulda turned it upside down and whacked it with a plastic dead-blow hammer I turned it over and whacked it on my hand and that did not get it done. Drilling the broken tool slotted into the list of options a bit above whacking it with a...

My M1A "Loaded" with all the NM goodies except bedding was my first "bucket list gun." Still one of my favorites.

Well - I bought a set of vice jaw pads that had strong magnets in them... and a set of tiny carbide burrs... and before mounting the gun in the vice to get after this I tried the magnet on the screw head... and... out it popped...

Living a charmed life it seems. Thanks for the suggestions.

If all else fails “Optic Planet” Have you had many good experiences with them? I put an order in with them a few weeks back. I know everyone is getting hit hard with orders right now, but they sat on my order for almost three weeks without shipping it. I just canceled it and ordered from somewhere ...

Thanks much sir...

I mean no offense - but if it were me - and I did not have a LOT of experience with a given welding process - I'd not consider doing it myself. I both MIG and TIG (and gas and stick weld) - and I'd not go near my firearms with a welder. :-) If you are highly skilled both processes - my best bet is t...

Thanks gents... I've ordered some tiny burrs and I'm going to try to cut the middle out of the tool and see if I can pull it out. If that does not work I'll slot the screw and replace it... if that does not work ... well ... I might be mad enough to go the oxy-acetylene route...

Do you have a pic of the actual broken piece?

Here are a couple of pictures... It is pretty flush...

OK - looking for tips / tricks / advice here... "Someone" snapped the tip of an allen wrench off in the front screw of their Buckmark's site mounting plate (see image below)... Must have been a cheap Chinese tool because there was really very little force applied and it had only deflected ...

This is what I'm seeing...

I'll take small groups with no tuning (except ammo), thank you very much. I know 10-12 people that have built 6.5 gas guns. Half of them were tuning nightmares...gas blocks, gas ports, buffer weights, buffer springs, etc....too many variables. The half that ran 100% were out of the box, factory gun...

2. A gas gun will not be as accurate as a bolt gun. The 6.5 AR-10 platform can be tricky to tune correctly. But you already know that. I'm aware that on average, bolt guns are going to be more accurate than semi auto guns. I also know that semi-auto accuracy has come a long way. I'm interested in a...

I got an error when trying to post - so I tried in a different forum... I came back later and found that they both had gone through. I've asked the moderator to delete one. Apologies if the double post bugs you.
