AI Tornado - Bottom Cap Blowing Off

[max.power]

So my Tornado recently began blowing the bottom cap off on detonation, instead of "exploding" the bb's.

I changed the o-ring on the cap to the replacement AI sent me, but the problem continues to happen.

I fear the threads may be torn or something.

Has anyone had this problem. Or does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Most likely the threads are damaged. They are only plastic. Metal threads on grenade vs plastic threads on endcap = bad if you're not careful.

Try using teflon tape.

I don't think teflon tape will fix ruined threads!

You can buy a new bottom cap from Carl.

EDIT: Correction, I guess you can't. Contact Carl (MadMax about it). You can probably either buy one directly, or he'll give you one.

I emailed him last Monday @ AI and PM'd him today; no answer.

He's probably just very busy, or perhaps out of country (I wouldn't know for sure). He's always come thru in the past, is what I'm saying.

Can you get a clear picture of the threading on both the grenade shell and the bottom cap?

I did reply to the PM today. As to emailing ai.com, tech requests should go to tech@gungas.com where my staff can help me with tech support.
