    Hi all,

    A couple of small screws that hold the flash hider end of the outer barrell assembly, came loose on my RPK.

    I'm wondering what the best way of identifying and replacing them is.

    I still have couple of the same type screw from the gun. It looks like the outer diameter is somewhere between 2.5 and 3mm and the pitch seems to be around 1mm.

    Does this sound familliar to anyone? I'm thinking the best way would be to go to B & Q or somewhere and just compare by eye? Do they have a big selection of loose screws? Am I likely to to find it there?

    i wouldn't say they have that small a screw. try calling mia or hobby airsoft they might have spares. or if not there is a model airplane store on capel street they will have something small and fiddly like that

    For anyone in the same trouble, I found the following website that does a large range of fiddly screws :-)

    Delivery is only £1.50 to Ireland and min order (goods) is £3
