Broke a screw in a new laminated stock

[mark k]

I managed to snap the front bottom metal screw on my Cz453 while installing it on my new Boyds laminate stock. Any suggestions on who might be able to get it out for me?

I won't ask how you managed that, as I have done dumb things too.

You can try an easy out tool, I have had limited success with them especially on smaller screws, bolts. Another option would be to drill and tap the bolt that is in there, be sure to centre punch. once you have it drilled use a bottoming tap and with permanent thread locker screw a bolt into your broken bolt, let the thread locker cure and back it out.

Good luck.

I did the same when installing my CZ452V into a Boyds stock. I drilled out the screw and some of the wood, then glued in a wood plug to fill the hole. Be sure to get some DIP torx head screws to replace the horrible soft CZ flat head screws.

I got lucky! A Canadian Tire micro screw extractor did it. I got the DIP screws and I'm very happy! Thanks for the suggestions.
