Take two straight O-ring picks and insert them into the grooves opposite of each other (assuming it was a 4 flute tap).
Grab both O-ring picks with pliers or small vice grips and gently turn. I have tried this once and it worked to remove a very small broken tap. |

stuff your spring and detent in from the pin hole side. You have a permanent set screw now.

Yup, lots of oil. 3/4 turn reverse half turn, etc. I've got a few ideas on how to do it better if there is a next time. Also think I have a solution to a rear take down pin that won't depend on the detent. Will end up using this lower for a dedicated futuristic 22 pistol so I'm not really out much of anything, just a few more square milimiters of baldness and a extra grey hair or two in the beard... |

Look up the alum and acid steel removal from aluminum. Warning, don't get it anywhere you don't need it. It can and will remove the dye from your factory anodizing. But in 10-15 minutes, the tap will be disolved enough to remove eaily.

Quote HistoryYup, saw that, but at $35 plus shipping I could probably just spend a tad more and get a new receiver :) But it did give me the idea of using a binder post or similar... will be heading to the hardware store and playing with the various fasteners, etc. |

Don't know if the correct size is in there but I recall people on her buying them off Amazon for this exact situation |

A decent machine shop should be able to get that out no problem.
