    I just picked up a TRG 42 and was installing a Badger Ordnance 35 MOA scope rail. The rail mounts with 4 hex head screws and also uses a recoil pin ( think AR trigger guard pin) that is tapped through the rail into a hole in the receiver. Well I guess I tapped it a little too far because it's binding the bolt. I took the rail off and the pin is stuck so far down into the receiver that I couldn't pull it out with a pair of pliers. I tried to drill it out with a 1/16" titanium drill bit but of course the bit broke off so now I have a pin with a hardened drill bit stuck in my receiver and still can't remove the bolt.

    Anyone in the Baton Rouge area know who. An help me out?
