If you have purchased a Scorpion in 2016, there is a good chance that your trigger pack has the dreaded "welded screw". We would like to circulate
TWO drill bits so that forum members looking to install 922r components or other trigger pack parts can get their welded screws removed with as little effort as possible. The only rule in this game is that once you take possession of a drill bit, you are expected to use it in a timely manner and cover the cost of shipping to the next person in line.
Please just post with what number in line you are (ie: "I need the drill #1", "I need the drill #2").
Here is a link to the actual drill bit, there is a video too:

06/30/16 - Please note that when shipping these between users they need to be packaged fairly well... maybe a small flat rate USPS box or a large mailer envelope with a lot of padding. Here is the reason:
Carbide is VERY HARD, but also VERY BRITTLE. It is not a coating or metal treatment, it is a type of material. It might help to think of other materials like glass, ceramic, or porcelain; obviously not quite the same, but the principle of "hard but brittle" still applies. The bits that we use and are recommending have a carbide tip on them, the shank is steel. So, if they are dropped or hammered on, the tip could crack/break just like a ceramic coffee cup. The reason for the steel shank is that it is not brittle, and allows for mis-alignment and does provide the flex needed when using a hand drill. Again, imagine trying to drill a hole with a glass drill bit... if not held perfectly straight the bit would shatter. So, these bits are combining the properties of steel and carbide to give us a tool that works very well for this application.
