ok, i bought a brand new emag off airgun.com in january. i hadn't gotten the air tank until a couple weeks ago, then had problems with it

anyways, i aired up the marker a couple days ago and dry fired it (testing the tank) and once the pressure was too low to shoot, i let the rest bleed out. last night, i was going to put a shim in the trigger to reduce sideplay, and as i was using a centerpunch to knock out the bolt that holds the trigger, i noticed that the bolt right in front of the trigger was loose. i checked it and the bolt was fine, but when i took the rest of the gun apart, i noticed that the first two threads of the ULE body were stripped off. the bolt hadn't been able to screw in far enough to grip more than the first two threads because it wasnt long enough. there is still room in the ULE body for a longer screw, plenty more threads, but im going to have to go to a screw shop or something to find a custom screw that will fit. this seems like alot of hassle for a gun that i bought to be reliable forever. i've never shot a paintball through it and only dry fired less than 2000 shots through it in its lifetime (closer to 1200, but lets say 2000 to be safe). anyone know what could have cuased it or what i can do now?
im going to call AGD now to see what they say, thanks
