Broken off T10 torx bit. Can anyone in the NWGA area lend me a hand.

[The Poverty Patriot]

14" rail came in for my Ruger pc9 and I went to remove the front sight and the torx snapped off in the screw head. I added heat before attempting to remove but still snapped off on me. I do not have the tools to remove this tiny bastard and I'm reaching out for help. If no one is able to help, I'll just attempt to drill it out myself or hunt down a gunsmith. I'd like to save the front sight but not must.

I'm more than will to pay, bring you your favorite beer or reasonably priced bottle of liquor, or what ever you like in return. Any help is appreciated.

I'll keep it in mind, but I'm looking for someone local in the floyd county area.

Punch, tiny drill bit and reversing bit removal tool. It’s worth a shot to pick these up at the hardware store and see. Not as bad as you think.

The torx bit metal is going to be hard to drill. Have you tried to move it with a dental pick?

This. I'd hit it with some PB blaster and let it sit for a while first

Try a small prick punch and tap the screw. It may turn the screw out, or at least loosen the bit up some

I'll give it a try to see if I can't convince it to come out

Small pick and compressed air. Most of the time they’ll go flying.
