I don't know what to do. I have a Tippmann Model 98, and my gun has gotten pretty dirty and it really needs to be oiled. Problem is I can't even turn the screw right next to the safety AT ALL. I've gone through 2 Allen wrenches with this ting. I have spent atleast 2 hours whole try to unscrew this thing. I've even tried holding the allen with a nut wrench and NOTHING will get it unstuck. Is there anything else I can try or am I screwed? (Please ignore the pun) Edited by MrDood |

Well, my first bit of advice is to take better care of your gun . . .
Grab a bottle of WD-40 and spray it on that one screw and let it soak for a while. Also, is the head stripped or is it still intact? |

OUCH how did you fix that Hades? to remove a screw that has been overtightened or neglected first try the penetrating oil, if nogo then move to more drastic measures. the bolts on the 98c's are 10-32 wich is a 3/16 bolt so take a drill bit that is 2 sizes over a 3/16 wich is 7/32 lay your marker with bolt heads up on a hard surface so it won't damage it and it won't slide arround (you may choose to clamp it so it dosen't slide) take your 7/32 bit in a drill and drill off the head yes i said drill off the head because the drill is a larger diameter than the screw this process removes the head. when the head of the screw starts spinning STOP the drill any further drilling will result in disaster! right Hades |

My solution to fixing it was buying a new reciever halve.
![]() At that point I just wanted the darn screw removed and I accomplished that. |
