Hello, I am aware that I have posted this before but everyone I was incontact with I lost contact with becasue my computer had some major problems and lost all e-mails and messages. I have a TM M4 A1 RIS and when playing in a airsoft match I was running and fell onto it and the body had cracked. I cant get the gun 100% back together becasue I am missing one little screw type object that holds the body together(sorry I dont know the terms). When I hold the gun together and shoot it, some of the airsoft bb's go stright and some fly way crooked and I have no aim with it now. I am guessing that the barrel or some small part inside just got pushed aside and needs to be realined. The body does has some cracks on it but it might just be glueable but I really am not sure. I need to find someone who lives around Oconomowoc,WI 53066. I am tight on money right now and can spend a max of $80 dollars. If i have to i can go to $90.
Thanks very much for your time.

Your best bet is to get a metal body somewhere. I know you said your strapped on cash, but its proably one of the only ways to get it back together reliably, so that the next time you do fall on it, it won't break into something even worse than what you have now.

Save up, and get it done right. It doesn't pay to have a half assed pieced together gun, with glue holding it together, and expect it to actually work.
Winter is here anyway, (well, sort of, with this weather who knows), so just wait and get it fixed over the cooler months.

Well, why do you got to get it fixed before you go to basic? I'm sure airsoft will be the last thing on your mind once you get there, and you won't need to have a working gun you never use. Plus, when you get back, you'll have somewhere between $3K-$4k and you'll have nothing to spend it on while you're there. For God's sake, be patient. While you're laying in your rack at 000, instead of thinking about how crappy pt will be the next morning, think of how awesome your gun will be when you drop a k or two on it.

(Oh, and when you get out of the chamber, take a long hot shower asap, You'll thank me)

Prolly one of the best alternative to completely replacing the body is to buy Guarder's Upper metal body. It is a simple metal replacement of the stock Marui upper, allowing you to use the same lower. Unfortunately they cost about $100, overseas, so any savings you would have goes right out the window once you figure in shipping charges. I've seen a few retailers offer metal bodies at $120 - $140. Many also offer the original Marui plastic body for around $40-$60, you can find it cheaper if you shop and go through ebay. Lowest price I have seen on decent metal body was $120 shipped, from eHobby.:D

I'll throw the option of you shipping it out here and I'll do it for ya. Its entirely up to you. Otherwise, your a decent distance from Gary's store, why don't you stop by his store on the weekend and have him help you? Either way, your going to have to pay for gas, shipping, and / or labor.
