Ok I think the screw infront of the trigger on my minimag is stripped. Actually I think its been like that for a while but I never noticed it. I can tighten it a bit still but I can only tighten it just enough to keep it from wobbeling and held together. If I tighten it any more, well you know. I've seen a couple posts on this before but thought it would never happen to me. Now it has. Is there an easy solution to this problem? Hopefully a cheap solution as well. I have a hopper right body I could put on it I guess but prefer the minimags hopper left pwrfeed. Anyways, if you know what I could do to fix my problem let me know please. THANKS!

It sounds like the hole should be tapped(ie re threading the hole). You will probibly have to go one size larger to correct the striped hole. You could also try a new screw first the screw might be striped.
