Broken screw... any ideas?

[TRfromMT]

Did the GB2 always have the small dowel stud between the scale and liner on the clip end, or just the new ones?

Can't figure out how to spin these apart.

1/16 drill bit at slow speed from the liner side did the trick. Now I need a 2-56 tap to chase the threads.

A Taichung made GB2 will have M2 x 0.4 threads from the factory.

That's good to know! And probably why I snapped a 2-56 screw...

I love working in an aerospace machine shop... we have a drawer full of metric taps.
Problem solved.
Thanks R ronT2

Great to hear! I bet that helped just a little.
