Hey, yesterday I bought a Lancer Tactical M4 RIS over at Toronto Airsoft. Had it at a friend's house over night, then got it home today. I ordered a supressor for it a few days prior from Airsoftparts.ca or whatever, so I was anxious to get it on. The allen key screw on the flash hider wouldn't budge, so I pretty much lit it on fire, melted the area around it, and yanked it out, which went rather well. After that I stuck the tip in some boiling water for a few seconds to loosen it up a bit. Since I'm a tool, I must have turned the flash hider the wrong way, or just not let it cool enough, or something, because all the threading on the plasticy outer barrel is completely stripped.

Is there any way I can fix this, or will I already have to get a metal outer?
