    Feedneck Screws

    Does anyone know what kind of screw the BP No-Rider feedneck uses? Mine fell out and got lost. I can't find the BP website. Are they still in business? I emailed Compulsive Paintball about a week and 1/2 ago, but they haven't gotten back to me. Thanks.

    does the screw thread into a nut on the other side of the gap?

    if so, just go to the hardware store and find like a half inch(assuming its perfect length) stainless steal(non rusting) hex head(or what ever head you want) bolt that screws freely into the nut.

      The band around the feedneck has a threaded hole on each end. The screw is run through these two holes and the tightening is what adjusts the feedneck. Unfortunately, there is no nut involved since both of the ends are quite long. The only solution I see is to find another screw of the same threading.

          If one of the screws from your bottom line fits it, its 10/32, if not it should be 8/32. Any of the screws for feednecks Ive had to replace were 8/32.

            Either way, its an 8-32, or a 10-32. Both common threads that can be found at your local hardware store with a straight or phillips head. Finding socket cap heads are a little harder to come by as they arent as common.

            Good luck.
            You can pick up socket heads at The Home Depot, was there yesturday and I picked some up myself
