hey guys, some of the screws on my 98c are stripped, like the allen wrench is not useful in turning them, I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions on how to remove these screws, also does tippman sell more screws to replace them with? these are the main screws on the body

You can try a slightly larger hex key, or some stripped screw paste, like 'screw grab' or something. Some people will put loctite onto a hex wrench and let it dry onto the screw and then take it out. Others will use super glue.

If it comes to it, a drill or easy outs will end it.

Tippmann will likely just send you new screws if you call and say you need them. Otherwise, there's no shortage of screw kits for sale. We used to have a list of the proper sizes and threads, for buying them at a hardware for a few cents each, but it has long disappeared.
