I saved one lower twice. The person was just jamming the drill in the pin holes and
it snapped off in the lower. I gave him one of mine to complete. Then later I was able
to mill the pocket down to the Broken bit and get it out.
The Same lower I was tapping the Rear Detent hole for a 4-40 Set screw and snapped the tap
in the Lower. I took the smallest End Mill I had (5/64") and milled around the tap until I could
get a pair of needle nose pliers on it and turn it out.
If you do this mod to put an 1/8" 4-40 set screw in, then cut 1/8" off the spring. This detent will
will not come out if you remove the stock.
