BLUF: Anyone recommendations for a gunsmith/machine shop in the Huntsville area that could remove a broken off MOS plate screw?

Trying to swap out an MOS plate and the screw broke off trying to get it out.  Standard M3 screw with about 0.048-.050 of the screw still above the slide.  I know there are some of the shops online that do slide milling offer extraction services but I wanted to see if there's someone local that does work like this.

I’d bet Hamilton Armory would be able to help.

@evnash - is he still gunsmithing? I’ve been out of the loop for a while.

I wasn't impressed with them but the AR Bar Armory in Huntsville may be able to help.

For  a screw that small, I would have it lasered out.

You'll have to mail off the slide though, don't believe any smith here is capable equipment wise.

good luck.
