I've got a 92FS that I put new grips on. During the process, one of the heads of the grip screws twisted off (it must have been defective - I wasn't tightening that much) in the grip bush (I believe that is what it is called). I cannot remove the piece of the screw stuck in the grip bush. Beretta has sent out new grip screws and grip bushes. However the grip bush is staked (?) in the grip of the gun.
My question is, can any reasonable gunsmith remove the grip bush and install one of the replacements or is this something I should send my gun back to Beretta for? I really want to avoid mailing my gun if at as possible (call me paranoid if you will).
Also, do you know what a reasonable charge would be by a gunsmith. I'd be willing to bet it would be free of charge from Beretta (but again, I'd rather have it done locally if at all possible).
Thanks in advance for the help.
