What are these nuts called?
It's for the 6-32 screws that hold the Battlezone handles together.
They are in the Right Half of the Plastic Control Handle.

Thanks,
 
They are called inserts. If you are trying to replace them in a plastic handle youll need some epoxy too.

Thanks, after an hour of Internet searching I just can't find any just like these.

They are #6-32. I thought about trying a normal nut, but where they "insert" are just way too small. What's the odds Lowes or HD would have anything like this?

Maybe I could break the plastic off and glue down a regular not. OR I could just glue the handles together and hope that I never need inside of them ever again. I bet model glue would work!?!

Thoughts?

Doubt you'll find them at a DIY store. They are knurled or fluted threaded inserts used in the mold. Try mcmaster or granger online.
