Hello fellow gun enthusiasts,
I have an M5 build that I absolutely love, and I’ve been steadily upgrading it. I have it mostly where I want it, but I want to swap out the Aero Precision bolt catch for a FCD catch that I’ve already purchased.
I tried to remove the screw that holds the bolt catch, but it’s not moving and the hex head is stripping. Unfortunately, the way it’s designed, it screws into a blind hole, so it can’t be driven out from the other side.
The Aero catch works fine, but I want the better made FCD part in there for durability. Does anyone have any experience with getting the screw out?
I’m fine with drilling it out and using a new screw or better yet, a pin. But the hole is so close to the side of the receiver, I’m not sure how to access it.
