Looking for a UTG L96 scew

[Fanaticea]

So a friend of mine bought himself a used UTG L96 off a local guy who was getting out of airsoft. However, unbeknownst to him it is missing a screw, a rather important screw, the one that attaches the mag release to the inner barrel, and holds the inner barrel inside of the outer barrel. Sooo here I am trying to track down a replacement for him.

I was wondering if anyone happens to know off hand what kind of thread screw I need to replace it, or even if someone with an L96 could pop their screw out and snap a pic of it, so that I have something of a ballpark idea of what sort of screw I'm looking for as a replacement. Thanks alot.

M3-0.5x8mm

Hobbyshop, get a M3x8mm screw set for HPI cars.

BUT it will break again.

Enough to find a way to never need them again.
I add some plastic parts inside the body so that the pressure from the mag catch is against the parts I installed instead of the little screw.
As a bonus, that creates a free-float for the barrel, more precise and consistent that way.

As in the pressure you put against the mag catch while inserting a mag? That's a good idea, thanks I'll try it
