Fuser Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I'm working on building an AEG from scratch, based on a Systema mechabox and mostly G&P externals. However I'm doing this completely without a base gun, so I have to buy every little piece that doesn't come with a metal body kit. The only thing I can't find are the little screws that hold the pistol grip to the gearbox. I bought a G&P TD grip, which comes with a heat sink buttplate and screws for that, but no screws for attachment to the gearbox. Anyone know where I can find these (preferably a US-based retailer)?

Stealthbomber Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 If you have the brains to build an entire gun, surely you have the brains to find a couple of tiny (M3 x 0.5 IIRC) screws? Failing that, I think Element sell a kit containing all the various twiddly bits required to build an M4 for about $8 so maybe you could buy that? Link to post Share on other sites
flipperpk Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Your local hardware store. Bring in half of the mechbox shell, estimate the approximate size, and start trying to find the right fit. Link to post Share on other sites

Tom Andrews Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 In the UK, Maplins (similar to your Radio Shack) sell the exact screws in a bubble pack for a few pounds ( x 2 for dollars....) Used for assembling computers. Link to post Share on other sites

Airsoftperson Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 I believe computer case screws (used to hold the mother board, and all the chips and what not in the case) work, I used them with my TM mechbox and Systema mechbox shell. Link to post Share on other sites
