I'm in the same boat. A body I put a lot of money into for the shego mod, eye mod and ipr mod has crap threads....trying to find a shop to send it out to...or I'm out some cash and time on this project

Does Anyone Know The Thread Pitch On The Rear Bolt Guide Threads ?

[amoryguy]

i as well am in search of fixing a stripped body

[tyler151]

fixing shockers seems like the cool thing to do then ...

Check with cs900 on here, he did a repair for another feller on here with the same problem.

A simple way to do it is to get rid of the threads completely so the guide can slide in and out freely with just the friction of the the rear guide oring. Then you can drill a hole up between the noid inserts and tapp it for threads and add a screw to lock the guide in place. It'll be a little bit more of a pain to remove the bolt but the body will be salvageable.

this is exactly what I do in the case of major thread failure. except I machine a custom tight tolerance pin instead of just using a set screw.

Yeah but CS not all of us have the engineering ability that you do

Fortunately that skill can be yours! For the right price.

[cs900]

well you can also buy threaded pins instead of making them, you just might have a bit more "slop" in the fit.

Class 3 seems appropriate for something important like this

[cs900]

bringing back an old thread, but everyone likes pictures so it's ok.

my fix including the body threading, the guide reaming, and the custom pin (2 pins are provided with every fix):


set screw is slightly recessed into the body once assembled:

Good work

[Shooter28]

That's my body

*edit: excessive thread wear can be avoided by pushing your assembly all the way forward before installing the bolt guide. If you feel your threads are getting gritty, use this tip and prolong your threads life.

Rasta, nice shooter

[L8r_H8r]

Nice to see the Rasta being repaired, hope you have it out and on the field soon Shooter!

Looks like a nice fix, only pain is having to take the trigger frame off to get your bolt out. However, better to have to do that then to retire the whole thing.

unless you have a ccm frame, hybrid frame, or a few select NXT pl frames,, you don't need to remove anything to access the set screw.
