So I am converting my Saiga 7.62x39 to accept AK mags, and I got the bullet guide kit which came with a drill and tap.
Drilled through the trunion with no problems. Then I started the tap and broke it off...inside the hole, too deep to grab with needle nose pliers.
Any tips on getting that stinking tap out of the hole? Searching on the Saiga-12 forums pretty much leads me to believe the only way is to get a hardened steel nail punch and beat the crap out of it until it shatters or breaks enough to come out.
Can I just say that it is a heartsinking feeling when you do something like this... I need an UNDO button.
