Aint that a bitch. :(

Well we started putting the M3 back together today. And ran into another problem. We just cant win. This happened when removing the adapter (not installing it). It seems the guys who built the head cross threaded it into the head. :(

[em1toevo]

OMG that sucks!

[shunderwunder]

It was cross threaded & broke off when we were pulling it out. We could tell instantly that is was cross threaded but had to get it out to repair the threads anyway. It can be welded, but I wanna see what the company we got it from wants me to do with it first.

[ultm8mind]
