Broken cover plate screw
« on: May 02, 2021, 07:24:51 AM »
When removing a optic plate screw from my PDP optic plate, it broke off. Not enough to grab with pliers. I started drilling, with a plan to use a bit made to remove broken screws. I stopped soon thereafter to avoid damage. Any advice on a gunsmith/machine shop to send my slide to fix this? I don’t know of any local gunsmiths. Thank you. (Walther PDP)

*Yes, I have a message into Walther customer service.
**I didn’t put this thread in the CZ Gunsmithing sub forum because it is not a CZ.

I'd give Primary Machine a call and get their thoughts on it. That's definitely the type of job that will require a very good bit and a drill press to maintain straightness.
