What Daiviet said. LOL. Unfortunately.
Always be careful of how much you torque screws for airsoft. Be conscious of what materials you are mating, the application, the bolt length, and also the coarseness of its threads. |

I am having a stripped grip screw hole problem as well. The screws are badly bruised, and they sit loosely in the whole. While assembled, there are about 2mm gap between the mid frame and grip near the beaver tail area.
I don't see any thread at all for the grip hole on the mid frame. I have purchased some ss #8-32 screw and they seem to fit in and solve the gap problem. The issue is that they are too long. I am going to cut them, and see if they solve the problem. My question is: 1. What material is the stock TM 4.3 mid frame? 2. Did anyone try tap new thread on the grip hole, and use a bigger screw on them? |

1. pot metal
2. never tried but I've found I've had to gradually use bigger and bigger screws until I found one that fit tight, just make sure you don't over torque it and you will be fine, if the screws are too long you will not be able to get the mag into the grip.

I've got a question regarding a tilt barrel. Is it possible to convert it to a non-tilt/fixed system by shaving off the lugs from the outer barrel and/or the slide? Once there is enough clearance, the slide wouldn't and won't have to pull back the slide anymore?

Zinc-Aluminum die-cast metal. aka "Pot" metal, aka "Monkey" metal.

You also have to add material to the bottom of the chamber to lock the hop up chamber in place. |

Is the AS BBU not working with your setup?

The screw kept backing out, I even counter sunk the bolt more to get more thread engagement(the stock had 2 FINE thread in a aluminum part, dumb design). At this point I don't want to mess with it so I am trying out the Nine-Ball. In theory the wear and tear should be minimum on it anyway.

I have, red loctite and it still backed out.
Poor design, but I can't expect random HK guys to have the best design practices... |

I just did this "fixed barrel mod" successfully. As mentioned before I simply shaved off the lugs from the slide so that there is clearance with the chamber. Then I inserted a tube/plastic ring to the inner barrel (similar to detonics) so that the outer barrel stays fixed at the forward position. This can also be done with stock slide and stock barrel.
