Drill Bit for Welded Trigger Pack - Pay it Forward

[omnidj]

I don't know who is in charge of this list, but I went ahead and ordered the bit from HBI, and drilled mine out today. So now I have a bit to pass on to others. I also have a replacement machine screw, since this drilling process tends to booger up the stock screw. Contact me and we can make arrangements.
By the way, the HB bit chews through that weld like butter. I tried a HSS bit and it was a real
PITA. The old saying applies, "Right tool for the right job"

If one of these are still available I would greatly appreciate the use of one of these! Thank you!

If one is available I would like to borrow a bit for the welded trigger pack screw.
Thank You!

If anyone has questions or needs help on getting their welded screw taken care of, I've done dozens of these for my customers and I'm happy to help.

Holler at me if you have questions (I don't mind sharing tips I've picked up along the way).

Is this list still active?

I just got two sets of springs from HBi, and would like to be a part of this movement.

Reviving this thread a bit... New drill bit in transit to FightClub now. We also included a handful of replacement screws :-)

HBi = AWESOME!

Just signed up here, didn't see this thread and I bought all my upgrades from HBI, but everytime I was on the site the drill bit kit was out of stock, and when I finally got the email it already said out of stock again.  I ended up buying the trigger pack hardware kit that comes with the bolt you need to replace, since that is always in stock.

So if anyone needs a drill bit real quick that doesn't like waiting, or isn't even a member here seeing this thread, Go to Home Depot. Cheap and comes with 2. Took 10 seconds for the bolt head to come right off. No damage at all to anything

sort of a random question, but I did the HBI trigger spring kit a few weeks ago, I wanted to see if maybe I just got lucky or some thing is/was wrong but the little torx screw that needs to be drilled out was not welded in mine, and it looked like the end of the screw inside the trigger pack was some plastic/glue like substance on the end of it that was cone shaped?  I just used a longer torx screw driver that I had and it came undone with minimal effort. I put the screw back in place after the trigger kit was installed and it tightened right up it seems. The metal pack that the screw goes into only has a few threads on it. but everything seems tight..

You got lucky and received one that didn't have a welded nut on it.

My pistol I just got wasnt welded either, my Carbine I got in 2016 was the weld from hell.

[KGX]

Yep - just got my pistol a month ago and discovered that it didn't have the welded screw either

Just got mine and it appears to have been existing inventory - I have the forsaken welded trigger screw. About stripped it before I remembered this was a thing. Anyone have one of those drill bits floating around that could be shipped? I have an HBi trigger and spring pack with no way to get it in

Confession time: HBi sent me the new drill bit, and some extra screws. When I was getting ready to sell my house, they ended up in storage. I have them available now, if anyone still needs them.
