Mike777 0 Posted March 23, 2013 First AR build and took it to Range 14. It would fire but would not cycle to eject and reload. Got it home and realized the gas key was loose (AR-Stoner Bolt Carrier Assembly). Did some research and saw recommendations to stake and others to torque it to 35-40 lbs with red toctite. Decide to torque it. However, when i tried to torque it (starting at only 20lbs) one of the screws sheared off. The scre broke high enough I was able to back it out with a pair of pliers. Anyway, now looking for replacement screws. Anyone know some place close to Jackson, where I can pick up replacement screws? Thanks Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike777 0 Posted March 25, 2013 Yeah. I should have researched that more. Live and learn I suppose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vmastro87 0 Posted March 29, 2013 Hey mike there just 8-32 screws. You can get them at an ace hardware or store like that if you haven't found them yet. Let me know if you can't get them I'm sure I have some at work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike777 0 Posted March 29, 2013 Good to know for the future and thanks for the offer. I ended up ordering them from Windham Weaponry, so hopefully they will be here soon. I tried calling the company dman2112 recommended but the phone was always busy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
