Broken screw on Hi Capa

Doombringer · June 19th, 2009, 13:25

Is it possible to buy a screw on the rear sight that adjusts left to right on a TM Hi Capa 5.1 ?

lol nope. I broke the up and down for the rear sight, only way is to find a screw that has the ame threading or size, or to buy another rear sight.

Do you know, by any chance, the thread and the metric size (assuming it is metric) ? Could I just go to Home Depot and get one over there ?

Or, I could buy a whole new rear-sight? Do you know the part number or a place I can get it from ?

Thank you.

The screws are made out of cheap metal, they will break if you are using green gas/propane causing a high recoil and shock. I do not know the part #, but if you choose to buy it again, you need to buy Illusion Recoil/Shock buffers from his Retailer thread. If you don't install these, the screws will keep breaking. Buying a new rear sight isn't that cheap.

They're a common size...I've broken 3 over time (different pistols) and have just made my own. For the screws that I've found, I need to turn down the screw head to fit the sight frame. Takes a minute or two on the lathe (about 2.9 minutes to setup...0.1 to actually cut it).

Definitely doable.
