Someone in the Philly area with EZ Out drill can help? *SOLVED*

[mythaeus]

I have an ARMS 41BL flip up front sight base that I need to take off my barrel so I can install a free float handguard. However, one of the hex screw's head is stripped. After all futile attempts, I think the only way out is to use EZ Out or a similar tool to drill in and twist out.

I'm in Center City Philly. If you are near by and can help, I'd appreciate it. I'm just weary of drilling metal and all. Thanks.

I am not in center city, but I do have easy outs. I am in the Great Northeast.

They also have them at Harbor Freight, cheap ones.

Craftsmen makes some nice ones at sears.

Thanks for responding. Are they easy to use? I'm more afraid of screwing it up more rather than concerned about buying one. Someone with experience would make me feel a little better about using it.

Can you post a pic?

I could probably help you out. I have the tools but have not used them on firearms.

I have used them on R/C model airplanes, cars, other stuff i needed to fix.

Do you have a cordless drill or drill press?

If I see what you are talking about I could better understand exactly what you are afraid of.

Of the unknown mostly

I don't have either the cordless (had a 12v, but battery doesn't charge) or a press. Here's a pic of the ARMS 41BL:



It's the front hex head that is stripped. I can grab a better photo when I get home. Thanks.

If you don't mind driving up to the Doylestown area- I'll remove it while you wait for a modest fee. I may have the proper size screw in stock to replace the damaged one.
