CA M15 flash hider screw again... need help..
 
okay i read about the post about the CA M15 flash hider screw and how to properly take it out.

i turned it clockwise. i knew it was going to strip since it was so tight...
anyways.. i read about how a few people said they just drilled it out.

i am attempting to do that at the moment.. but it is getting frustrating as i already broke two drill bits..

and.. i dont think those screw extractors have sizes that small.

so i was wondering what could i do now.

any tips as to how exactly to drill out this screw?

Thank you for reading.

aren't you supposed to use hex keys and turn it CCW???

not from what i read..
here is the original thread
http://airsoftcanada.com/showthread....ashhider+screw

it saids the whole flash hider + screw is CW turn to take out.

even though some people simply said CCW is the right way.. for the screw..

i dont know now... so i am asking those who own a CA M15 and have taken theirs off if they know. and all those drill experts out there on how to take this dam screw off.

Yup, you were supposed to turn your 1.5 CCW to take the screw out, not CW. I guess if you have started drilling its a little too late.

CCW for the hex screw, and then CW for the flash hider.

its not hard to tell when a screw is stripping
anyway you need an end mill to do it properly, a drill bit will f*ckoff on you when trying to drill through harder steels, and since the surrounding area is nice soft crap metal that drill bit will cut it more than the screw

OKAY so if the screw is originally CCW, use a drill thats smaller than the hole, it should screw itself out. if its originally CW you need a left handed drill bit.
