Fix my gun TM22

Hey everyone. Just got a RIA imports TM22, brought it out today for its first real target shooting. Put around 200 rounds through it and at the end, the magazine catch button popped out. It seems the threads on it are stripped so the catch button screw won’t thread into it. Has anyone else had this problem? Or know where to get metal one?

Just tap out the hole to the next size up and next time don’t buy Turkish garbage

Yeah might be my best bet. Very stupid it’s the only plastic on the gun I must say. Can’t bash it till you try it though, nicely balanced and is comfortable to shoot. Got it as a rodent gun so not complaining!

So I’ve got a piece or plastic from my plastic repair kit and got it nice and snug in the hole. Superglued it in, re tapped the hole, and it seems nice and tight and works now. We will see how my patch job works tomorrow haha
