Damn I just got my flatline today, and I was so freakin hyped, but when it came to removing the 3rd allen screw, I was Its the screw above the trigger. How can I remove this screw? Its like almost to a complete circle! Do you think my local pro shop can fix this or can I just buy a tool from a hardware store?

There is a tool for this type of problem, but I don't know its name. hit your local hardware store and you shuld be set. I don't recommend bringing the gun inside, btw.

You can use a torx screwdriver. If you dont know what that is it looks like a star .A T25 or T20 Should work. Just put it in the stripped allen part and  hit it a few times , then turn it. Works on my A-5 if you need more info PM me.

^^^^^^^^^^^^DANG he beat me too it. If you dont feel like trying that you can always grab a good torx bit screw driver (Five star thing used in cars alot) a little bigger than the now circular area and tap it in with a hammer LIGHTLY and twist it out.  Works most times for me at work if it dont i usuaLLY DRILL EM.

u can get a screw extractor that goes into a handheld drill. i know that the tippmann screws are soft so this would prob work. remember to take a screw from the tippmann to the hardware store.
