Planet Eclipse Splash Parts

[jbtamu1011]

Hey all,

I have some splash parts, specifically a foregrip and rail. The issue I have is finding the right sized screw head to fit. I found the what size the screw needs to be, but the heads of the screws are all too big. I've tried grinding the head down, but I'm not having any luck. I know the size is metric and it's M6. Please help!!

If you need one cut, I can do that.

Is it an Automag rail and foregrip? If so you need a low profile cap screw. Threads on those are 1/4-20

Yes, it's a PE automag foregrip and rail.

You likely wont find them at a hardware store, maybe Tunaman or AGD(?) if not, they can be ordered from McMaster-Carr.
Another option is a drill and a grinder. Just chuck up the screw in the drill, spin and grind.
It's not a metric thread though, you need a 1/4-20 thread.

You can buy them here> mcmastercarr.com
search 92220A182 not sure if the length is correct but it will get you to the correct page.

I’m pretty sure they did make some metric ones.

M6 is a little smaller than 1/4" so M6 'might' screw into a 1/4-20 thread. (Just a guess, I've never tried it)

M6 is pretty secure feeling with no wiggle when screwed in. I took the foregrip to the store and tried different sizes. i think standard just doesn't screw in all the way. threading is different.

If their not AGD spec parts I have no clue what you need...

I'm going to try the M6 low profile and ultra low profile socket screws. I had ordered some low profile from Fastenal, but the heads are a bit to tall. I hope these are a little smaller and work. I will update with if they do.

I have cut the heads of those screws in the past. If you want me to turn them down, I’m sure I can.
