They’re M2 screws. You can use these as a direct replacement. Think Worker or Blastertech might sell replacement screws. You could also just thrift some blasters for the screws.
These are a direct replacement for most shell screws.
I use These
I use these with my Foxfire builds. They are roughly the same size as the screws that come with the Stryfe (the head is slightly bigger) but they are a much harder steel. You won't easily strip them out with a screwdriver.
Hey guys, making a post about finding replacement screws. I have looked up previous questions and only found some useful things from it. The basic thing is that for the 'regular' sized screws, I can use this. Not sure about it, because the answers to a question about Nerf on there basically cancel each out. From my measurements, the common screw sizes are 3/8", 5/16", and either 7/16" or 1/2". The only problem I have is the thread count, I don't know whether to use a coarse thread or a fine thread for the replacement screws. I can barely get a quarter of the screws off to tell if they're too rusted or if they've been stripped (leaning more towards rust). The recommended screw is #3-24, but it's likely that I'll be opening up my Longshot quite a few times in the future. So should I just use that thread count or opt for a coarser thread count to keep the blaster together?
TL;DR What the f%&* is thread count and what screws should I use for my Longshot?
P.S. If I read any comments about just thrifting some Mavericks or something for the screws, I'll label it as spam. I'm looking for help, not snark.
