Neat method, i had not thoudht of that before. I usually Frankenstein-ed it by finding a bolt the size of the post and drilling out the post completely and using a nut on the other side. Thank you for sharing.
thanks for doing this one my friend, this topic has been floating around on the Discord group lately. the screw showing up on the opposite side adds character to the blaster.
I found this video very helpful and informative, and perfect timing with the video captain. I'm going into surgery tomorrow and watching your videos help me relax and calm down. So just wanted to say thank you and keep up the great work. BANGARANG!
I had to saw off the screw head with mine but this works. Clamps and vice grips are recommended when you remove the head so you can actually turn it if it's too tight.
Wow, I just got my swift and I also had this problem. Also the back plastic where the spring rests are now cracked as well as the priming sled. Now I don't know what to do
Thanks for the content as a fan of yours it always great to see a video especially when the news makes me want to curl up into the fetal position... thanks
Great video,I recently sent you a email about a blaster for your series nerf diagnostics and repairs, and I was just wondering if you got it.once again great video 👍
Great vid. Do you have an tips on removing the broken plastic mount off a screw without damaging it? I need the mount to remain intact as much as possible so that I can superglue it back to where broke off. I hope that makes sense.
For whatever it's worth, there was enough contrast between the Falconfire shell & the table to see what's going on. This wasn't a "green piece of clothing in front of a green screen" thing, if that's what you were worried about.
what if the top of the post broke apart, from either using a wrong size screw, or not unscrewing it by accident when opening a blaster? since you won't have an actual intact piece of screw post
Nice, I will try this on my Stryfe... I don't know if will work. I have stripped the post, no sure it's even a post, but stripped the threads that hold the battery door shut..so we will see
Pull one from an dead blaster shell, fabricate from from scratch, wander a hardware store until you find something that will work, put a bolt clean through the blaster. There are lots of options.
If you can find some ID threaded aluminum Standoffs that are the right size, or grind them to fit, it can work pretty well. I'm sure Mcmaster or Fastenal have something that can work if the hardware stores fail you.
Thank you SO MUCH for this. I have a Doublestrike that's been laying open on my mod space for weeks because the post where the hammer stops has stress marks on it, too high up to epoxy putty and too low for a screw (unless I had a ridiculously long M2 screw), this is perfect. I think I'm going to inlay a screw, reinforce the bases with the putty, and maybe put a thin layer of JB Weld Original around the stress mark. Now if only there was a way to repair melted screwposts, I may have melted one on my Stryfe with a soldering iron...
@@CaptainXavier Well, it hasn't broken off yet, it's just stress marking. It's in a crucial location between the PT and the hammer, it's actually what stops the hammer from going farther forward, and it's really long. I'm not sure I could find a screwpost that long, and I don't have scrap blasters. I'm just gonna buy a fairly long M2.5 screw to go in that hole with some external reinforcements too. Thanks, though.
Definitely one of those "I wish I'd known that years ago" tips! Thank you, Captain.

i recently snapped a load baring screw post in that new buzzbee adventure force shotgun, this will help me to fix that broken post
Smart. I doubt I'd have ever considered using screws like this
Thanks for posting this!!!! I broke all my posts in my DZP MK3 and looked everywhere on how to repair it.
thanks for doing this one my friend, this topic has been floating around on the Discord group lately. the screw showing up on the opposite side adds character to the blaster.
This really helped me
Thank you captain this is very use full to me😁😁👍👍

me watches video at start:everything hurts
me at the end:wow that smart

2 of the posts near the stock of my Swift snapped after just 2 games at an event. This video is a godsend, thanks Cap!
Wow, I just got my swift and I also had this problem. Also the back plastic where the spring rests are now cracked as well as the priming sled. Now I don't know what to do
@@laptopcat6673 Yea, I've sadly given up on fixing mine and sold my NIB spare one I had. Upgraded to a Harrier and didn't look back
Another awesome video Captain!
I wish I knew this method years ago.
Captain
Great video. Thank you for passing your knowledge along. Keep up the great work.
Bangarang
"Random Screw Bin". Sounds like a shady nightclub.
Finger nail polish or acrylic paint for coloring the screw head might work.
Would a soldering iron work to fix breaks like these?
Thanks for the content as a fan of yours it always great to see a video especially when the news makes me want to curl up into the fetal position... thanks
So this is a whole new level of screwy. But in a good way.

Can you reach the screw with pliers or vice grips? You need to immobilize the screw and then twist off the post.
Thank u for the good ideas
Thanks for the tip.

Oh captain, my captain
what if the top of the post broke apart, from either using a wrong size screw, or not unscrewing it by accident when opening a blaster? since you won't have an actual intact piece of screw post
Cut a post from the shell of a dead blaster and do the same thing.
Nice, I will try this on my Stryfe... I don't know if will work. I have stripped the post, no sure it's even a post, but stripped the threads that hold the battery door shut..so we will see
That is a different issue. I have a different video on how to deal with stripped out posts.
I always used super glue and a small piece of hardened stainless steel (used a zippo and a cup of water to harden it) wire. I like your method better.
Wow. I did this the same way you did, but i figured it out on my own. Huh. I must be getting better at modding...
If it's stupid but it works, then it ain't stupid!
Genius
What should you do for posts on the other half of the blaster where the original screws go into?
Same thing. Just use a much larger screw.
What do you do if you have somehow lost the old screw post? What can you use as a replacement?
Pull one from an dead blaster shell, fabricate from from scratch, wander a hardware store until you find something that will work, put a bolt clean through the blaster. There are lots of options.
If you can find some ID threaded aluminum Standoffs that are the right size, or grind them to fit, it can work pretty well. I'm sure Mcmaster or Fastenal have something that can work if the hardware stores fail you.
For the hardcore modders and repairs, you might find that the solutions are quite.... metal.
I'll see myself out.
See that you do... ;P
Hi I have been looking for a deploy dies any one no where I can get one I can't even find one at good will
Fun fact: That's also how you fix a broken delrin plunger rod in a rainbow pump
Can you make rapid pistol video
Hi captain!
hi
what about split screw posts
Replace the post. Same technic I used here (including removing the split post) but replace it with a post from the shell from a scrap blaster shell.
Captain Xavier thanks
Thank you SO MUCH for this.

You can replace it entirely with a post from a scrap blaster using this technique.
@@CaptainXavier Well, it hasn't broken off yet, it's just stress marking. It's in a crucial location between the PT and the hammer, it's actually what stops the hammer from going farther forward, and it's really long.

When is the next range day
No idea. When the weather is nice again.
Captain Xavier never thought you would respond to my comment I’m so very happy right now
Greetings
Dang zero dislikes after 3 months... impressive
Hey yeah? The haters missed one! :P
Hi
hi
*Uses a screw to fix a screw post*
Ironic
Right?

Anyone have any idea on how to fix the screw post in the stock of a sharp fire, mine kept bending and pulling the screw out whenever I leant into it
