Meowmus Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Hi all, i have a loose buffer tube on my CYMA M4, the simple fix is to tighten the fitting, but i don't have the correct tools, as its not a simple screw fitting, i would like advice on what tool i should get, as i have no idea on what the size of the fitting is Many thanks, James
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted July 12, 2015 Supporters Posted July 12, 2015 if it ain't philips it must be an allen key or torx....... the bolt thread size should be M5 thread that goes into the spring guide of gearbox so I am gonna guess 4mm allen key might be required Not saying for absolute deffo this will work but cheap if you are gonna do any work... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rolson-28429-51pc-Screwdriver-Bit-Set-Handy-Tool-Kit-Set-Diy-Work-LOW-PRICE-/231521944023?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item35e7c881d7 HOWEVER - depending on how far down the bolt is the screwdriver may not quite reach without an extension as some buffer tubes mount very close to rear of receiver and others a little closer to stock there are at least two positions in various buffer tubes and the above screw/hex/torx kit may or may not quite reach on its own Still for a fiver delivered it could be worth a look - heck I might get one as I keep losing some bits in my tools Meowmus 1

Supporters Sitting Duck Posted July 12, 2015 Supporters Posted July 12, 2015 Thanks Allot, will get on looking now buy that kit I just edited if you ain't sure you will have hex/allen key and also torx - god damn torx bits so if that driver is long enough - which it should be unless you are really really unlucky to need an extension it should do proud for almost any work on your gun an extension is probably a couple of quid or might have a small extension from another kit/tool box but reckon it "might" just about be long enough as the driver seems a longer than the one in my set (alas that one atm just doesn't quite fit but wtf I'm ordering a set anyway)
