I need help fast!!! i tried to take out the foregrip from my used mag but the allen wrench i used to try to take it out broke inside the screw. theres a little piece of the allen wrench still in there and I can't get it out. anyone have any suggestions?

Is the piece that's broken off flush with the head of the bolt or so short that you can't get a hold of it with a pair of vice grips or the like?

yep, its flush with the screw so i can't do anything about it. i tried drilling into the screw but its barely doing anything. anyone have any ideas?

Alright, take a very small drill bit. Metal specific of course. Drill into the middle of the broken end. After you have a small hole take another drill bit and try to make the hole bigger. After you have a hole take a sharp object and pry the piece out.

well i've been improvising with what I have and tried drilling with a drill bit. I dont know if its a metal specific bit, but its taking forver. If it fails I'll try the loctite method. Thanks guys
