Thanks for all the replies. I think I will try to contact the two people that HuntMaster recommended unless another competent gunsmith pops up closer by. It isn't but about 150 miles up there.

You need to find a 'smith or a machine shop that has a mill. Milling these things out using a small carbide end mill bit is the best way to go.
A drill press will screw things up worse than they are now.

There are machine shops that have EDM machines that can remove broken bolts and screws. This electronic discharge machining process is what Magna Port uses to drill holes in rifle barrels for porting. If you used red Loctite on these screws it's listed as permanent, even in large bolts and screws. Heat has to be used to break the red Loctite down. I have seen threads stripped from 1 inch and larger shafts when trying to take the nuts off without heat.
good luck

Call me kooky, but wouldn't it be cheaper to drill the old screw out with a carbide bit and just buy a new ring???
