Allen screw stripped by customs

Jul 31, 2006 7:44pm
I recently ordered an M16 from redwolf. When I recieved it, the allen screw that is used to take off the flash hider has been visibly stripped. it might be a factory screw up, but im almost positive customs did that so the red tip couldnt be removed.

I have never had that issue with Redwolf.

You're gonna have to dremel the sucker out... the allen screw that is.

tap and die man! just drill it and back it out slowly. And, I agree Customs would have just held your shipment- they really don't have any idea what to do with airsoft guns. I had an order held for 10-days while they figured out what they were--and that's after I gave them a full disclosure of the invoice.

I dare ask sarge, what gun this was....

It was a wholesale shipment I had ordered from UN Co. 5 rifles, 3 pistols and BioBB's in bulk.
