Stripped gearbox grip screw hole

[Gilligan]

Hey guys,
I have a 6mm AGM gearbox with a stripped screw hole where you screw in the pistol grip. Just the first few threads are stripped but its enough that I can't get the pistol grip to stay on and stable.

Does anyone know of a fix for this? possibly a longer pistol grip screw I can buy or something. If not its no big deal, Its a crappy Chinese gearbox shell that I don't use anymore.

Any input helps!

If it is stripped to that point, you can't really do anything about it. I had an AGM gearbox that had the same problem and eventually during a game the pistol grip pulled off and with it came the other screw. You don't have a whole lot of options, aside from retapping a larger thread for a different screw, or trying to get a screw with a bolt to work.

In the long run buying better quality gearbox shell would probably be the easiest method. I sucks to scrap a gearbox shell because of one or two little things like that, but there aren't a lot of other options.

I had the same thing happen with a JG gear box. I ended up just using one screw and superglue. It worked for a bit.
I ended up just replacing it with another empty box.

Yea, I ended up scraping it and using a different one. Luckily I had one to replace it with. Thanks for the input guys!
