My second M4 Project! :)

spartan117 · March 29th, 2010, 04:44

After i built my first m4 i was itching to build another one and now, i'm finally able to gather some parts to put it together. But i do have one question though, does anyone know what type of screw is required to tighten a pistol grip onto the gearbox? I seem to have lost the screws...Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Anyways here are some pics!

**update**

Yay~! Almost done!

Missing selector switch, and need to rewire gearbox.

So does anyone know what screws the grip uses to mount onto the gearbox???

Googled a bit and found that they're M3x8mm screws? Link to where this same question was asked - http://www.ukairsoftzone.co.uk/forum...ip-to-gearbox/

If it helps any, the screws from the covers of old computer towers are pretty darn close. I've replaced a few with them with no issues.

I was going to suggest exactly this, i've had a few friends come to me with problems and they've been solved with the larger hexagonal-headed (iirc) screws that (i guess) has a slightly larger thread (or it could be that the thread is slightly more coarse) that gives a strong fit.. never had one of those fail on me infact!
