Title: Blade Retention screw question Post by: MandaloriansPride on January 12, 2019, 02:41:52 AM I accidentally stripped the head on the set screw for one of my Archon v3.1 emitters. I know it's 3/8" long, but I need to know the thread.
I'm hoping it's 8-32, that'll be easy to get. Any help is appreciated. Title: Re: Blade Retention screw question Post by: scifidude79 on January 12, 2019, 04:12:10 AM It should be 8-32. I have the 2.1 and that's what it is. As far as I know, there are only a handful of hilts that use a different size.

Points for all the knowledge you two! Title: Re: Blade Retention screw question Post by: MandaloriansPride on January 12, 2019, 01:28:51 PM Thanks all. I guess it's safe to order the replacements.

It does sound like he's stripped the "tool" socket though. I've done that. ::) Title: Re: Blade Retention screw question Post by: deevee2 on January 12, 2019, 12:27:28 PM Truth.

Title: Re: Blade Retention screw question Post by: MandaloriansPride on January 14, 2019, 03:07:10 PM Yeah, it was just the socket that stripped. Didn't help that the hex key was starting to get rounded. But I've got a pile of those, so used a fresh one to get the screw out. Just waiting on the replacements from TCSS now.
It was the emitter I got for my custom Obi-Wan - http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=39509.msg664790#msg664790 (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=39509.msg664790#msg664790) Which BTW, I'm getting ready to replace the switch section, so I'll be updating that soon. Title: Re: Blade Retention screw question Post by: Rapine on January 14, 2019, 03:25:27 PM Sweet!
Nice one MandaloriansPride. :) Points. ;) |
