Got a tough one for you guys

[Oldmandan]

I'm converting a Saiga front end.

On the last pin... I broke a drill bit in the FSB

So, it's got one pin already in it, which turned out fine.

I tried drilling the FSB from the opposite side to try to knock it out, didn't work...

Tried using a screw extractor to grind it down, didn't work...

Any ideas?

I'm thinking of just welding the holes up and leaving it as is...

Hi-Roc drill bit.

Have it EDM'ed out

So in effect the drill bit is in place where a pin would be?

If it's solid then you could just leave it as is and grind it flush with the side of the FSB?

You got a point... best I can tell there's about 5mm of drill bit in there still

looks like crap though...

I ordered a left hand drill bit to try to get it out, if that does't work maybe I'll take it to Randall to weld it in there.

Use a 2 flute Carbide drill and drill from other side..

A thick glob of black paint will solve that!
