    Ive recently been upgrading my gearbox and with all the srewing and unscrewing of my grip i have ruined the threads and lost the original screws,its the part where the grip screws into to gearbox and where the motor and wiring is housed.Where is it possible to find the screws that would fit it.Its a V2.I can easily purchase a new gearbox shell but the screws arn't so easy to get.Any help?

    New grip might come with them, but that shouldnt be necessary. When I loose a screw I can usually find one around the house, as long as it isnt completely unique. Eg, replaced UMP retainer screw with one from a speedloader :) IIRC the sig is a V2, and the screws in that are pretty average. I'm guessing yours is an armalite though. I dont touch them myself.

    Eirsoft have a bits box AFAIK, you could ask Masada very nicely to have a look and offer cookies. Him or Doc:)

    just get, i think its an M3 hex or slot head and trim them to size, but leave them a little bit longer than the stock screw so youll have a bit more grip in the gearbox as its like the threads are wearing there as well.

    grind or dremmel the cut end of the bolt so it can catch the thread.
