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

Thanks. Will check them out. Haven't been able to find anything locally.

the tourqe should be inch pounds.

Yeah. I should have researched that more. Live and learn I suppose.

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.

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.
