    How do you get to the screw? Thinking of replacing it. Seems like you need a tiny screw driver or something! Sorry if this is a dumb question.

    You need to remove the gearbox and the little disc in the lower receiver on the right hand side, opposite the actual fire selector. You can then use a normal screwdriver through the hole.

    You mean this disc in the pic? Are you sure this punches out? Tried banging this out a few times and not budging. Also theres a small disc on the fire selector. How is this suppose to align on the opposite side?

    You need to press it out from the inside, get a screwdriver and just apply a little force to it from inside the receiver. it should come out fairly handy.

    The one on the fire selector, theres only one way that can go on as its a kind of half moon shape on the inside. it doesn't align with the other side of the receiver at all, as thats just a dummy, if thats what you are asking. :)

    I've been using an M4 since I started, use my right hand to change mags, quite easily. You need to practice more.
