Need a tip...

[traveller]

Just noticed that one of the tips off one of my guidescope ring screws has somehow "sunken" into the body.
Guess I have two choices, somehow drill and pull out the delrin tip, or just replace the screw.
The screws are from a 125mm guidescope ring.
Any other "tips" :shrug:

Try bending the tip of a pin and hooking it, bit of olive oil may help. Bit of filling material behind before the re-insert.

Thanks Rom,
I am a bit puzzled by the tip sinking in as I thought the tip is simply inserted into the body of the screw with a solid backing.
Will try as you suggest and see how I go.

Bo,if they are M6 screws, I have a complete set with Delrin tips spare if you want them. $10 the lot? (6). I have gone OAG, so have no need for them at all (rings are long gone, screws only now)

Thanks Lewis, they are M8 in size.
The tip is firmly sunken in and is sitting flush with the metal screw body. I am still wondering how it all happened.

I can't see the end of the screw in question, but is it possible that the tip has not been pushed into the screw at all, but has sheared off flush with
the end of the screw?
