Stripped threads on body pins

Specs · December 1st, 2010, 15:19

The front receiver pin on my CA M15A4 SPR is stripped and I cant get the body pin out. I was wondering if anybody knew how I could fix this... sorry for the noob question but I've never encountered this problem but the metal is just so crappy.

Thanks

Well, you could always buy new body pins. They're quite cheap.

besides buying new pin set, all you can do is re-bore the holes and compensate? first option being the easiest and most cost efficient

I cant get the body pins out, the screws are in the pins and the pins are in the body ...sorry I left that out.

Ouch... you'll probably have to drill them out then.

Do you have the Classic army X series? If so, you just push the body pins harder.

If, you have the older screw type body pins just use a metal saw and cut a groove into the screw head and then use a flat head screwdriver to unscrew the screw.

I used a dremel and made a new groove when this happened to me....and then when that didnt work I just ground the fucking thing right off and put a new one in.
