Carry Handle Thumb Screw Replacement

rangerstx4 · May 2, 2020

I picked up this no name carry handle years ago. One thumb screw was stripped so I never used it. After a lot of searching I found replacements on Evike. I was skeptical about the airsoft parts, but they came yesterday and are very solid. They are even straighter than the factory ones.

In conclusion, if you need replacement thumb screws, the Enhanced Thumb Screws on Evike are solid.

The new threads appear to be steel. The old were aluminum.

That's a legit upgrade. I dislike the aluminum threads in those so much that any carry handle uppers I do would need to have cross bolts that are more permanent. I dislike the knobs. The steel insert seems really nice.
