Will I Need A New Body For My Gun???

[paintballmaniak]

I have a spyder TL PLUS, and the front screw in my trigger frame that goes into the body of the gun always falls out when i shoot it (the threads on the screw are not stripped). I think its the threads inside the body are stripped. If this is so, would i need to buy a whole new body, or could i go for a less expensive approach?

Before you go out buying a new body go to your local engineering company. They can hopefully just re-tap the hole and everythng will be ok.

do you mean paintball store or what?

Getting a new body for your Spyder is about like refilling the gas tank in a Yugo. Sure, you can cough up the money, but why?

I no, I was asking if that was my only optopn.

i mean to say option

is it not maybe just that the screw is vibrating out?
try a bit of loctite on the threads, or even a spot of pvc seal tape should do, if that don't help (or if the screw never really seems to tighten up anyway) then your threads probably are screwed (NO THAT WAS NOT AN INTENTIONAL PUN!!!)
Good luck
