I just did this the other day with a regular bit.
My advise is to wait for the pass around bit. I had a fresh regular bit and it still took about 10min of struggling to free the weld. I had planned to use the vertical mill at my job but decided working on gun parts there would be poor judgment. |

So based on the above responses, it looks like Wahoo9532 is next?
Still waiting for the bit (haven't had a chance to see if it came today), but want to make sure I have the contact info for the next person... |

I have seen a video where someone was able to just snap the screw at the weld and actually retain the screw for usage. I tried it with mine but can't get it.
Address sent to both that requested for shipping. |

Just replied to both... I ran into some issues with the allen head stripping out...
I will be sending this off to Wahoo tonight or more likely tomorrow, and will update him once I have it in the mail. Anyone else, be aware that the 3MM allen head appears to be pretty soft and strips easily... |

Mine was welded on there (collar, sleeve) good, I drilled nearly the entire 'depth of the collar' before it broke loose. I was careful and it took about 15 minutes for me. Yours may even be easier coming off. Patience with a drill motor and it will work fine.

What's the spec for a replacement screw? Trigger housing screw spec is M4x0.7 - 10mm. The thread pitch is M4x0.7, and the length of thread is 10mm. There is a little room between the hammer and the top of the screw when installed, so if you get to the store and all they have is 12mm long screws, no need to stress, that will work too. If you get up into the 14,15,16mm range though you will need to cut it shorter before installing. And 8mm will be too short (not enough to engage the threads in the sheetmetal trigger housing. Hope this helps... Not all hardware stores will have M4x0.7 - 10mm screws either. In talking to customers it seems like "regional" availability is a definite issue... Some have found these screws at Lowes or HomeDepot or Menards, but most of the time Ace hardware stores are a better bet. Not all of the big box stores seem to carry the same selections between states, so it is really hit or miss... |

Thanks, Cal Package is in the mail to TravinH. I've included a few extra screws which can be passed along with the bit for people to use if their strips out. Thanks to everyone for participating in this as that bit definitely made getting that screw out easy compared to the standard bit I tried to use previously. |

I included 4 extra screws with the bit for anyone that can't find them locally.
Key to using the bit is to let it do the work and not force it. A drop of oil also makes a difference. So you should be fine with an inexpensive drill. |
