I've got a pretty big problem

[RRdmx77]

The screw that holds in the forgrip on my 98c is stripped in the head(the part where the allen wrench goes in) and i have no idea how to get it out, i tried using a bigger allen wrench but that woulndt work either. Does anybody know how i (or someone else) could get it out?

Get a small hack saw. Carefully cut a line across the top of the screw and then once it is deep enough you can use a flathead screw driver to get it out. Be carefull not to cut your gun. Hope it works

get a allen key, put it in the hole, and surround the allen key with some type of HEAVY DUTY glue (epoxy, maybe hot glue), fill up the entire hole around the allen key, let it dry in there. when its real dried, just give it a turn... hope you dont want that allen key anymore lol

Hot glue certainly isn't heavy duty. =)

You might try either LocTite on the allen wrench, or Liquid Steel available at most car parts stores.

Sears sells a tool for removing stripped screws, you should look into that if you don't wanna tear up your frame.

The Sears kit is great. It comes with a variety of different shaped bits for removing stripped screws of just about every type: allen, flat, Phillips, torx, etc... It costs twenty something bucks but it is totally worth it. I have yet to run across a stripped screw that I couldn't remove. Plus you'll use it for everything, not just your paintball gun.

any other suggestions?

Try a set of Torx bit wrenches. If that doesn't work then pick up a stripped screw removal kit, get the thing out, call Tippmann and ask for another bolt, and don't screw it in to tight next time!

You could also remove the head of the screw by drilling it out. Its hardened steel so take your time and wear safety glasses.
