I was trying to get the screw out of my pistol grip so I could tune the motor height but the metal just gave way and now a screwdriver can't get it out. Anyone got suggestions? Thanks

Good news is that the screw at the bottom of the grip only holds the grip on, there is a seperate motor set screw inside once you get the grip off.
To get the screw out you need an "Easy out". you drill a small hole in the screw head then use this extraction bit to back it out. You can get a set from most hardware stores for about $30.00

thanks for the advice but I managed to cut enough out with a screwdriver to loosen it one last time
I then cut a new slot with a dremel diamond saw
I'll have to find a replacement

The metal used on the hardware for these guns is pathetic. Find a good American made steel replacement tinydata

will a Guarder M16 wire harness work on an M1A1 Thompson. They look similar, I need a new one.
