....at the base of the grips on some co2 pistols?
Can they be cut off and replaced with something like a nut to make the screw flush with the grip?

I wish I was in the land of cotton.
The exposed tabs are an in-elegant solution to a fundamental operation for co2 powered airguns.
I have used hex-drive 1/4 Whitworth grub-screws, but as the end is a small cup-point, a new larger cup needs to be added to locate with the end of the co2 bulb.
As I do not have a machine shop or welding equipment to hand, I need to be a bit 'creative' with my solutions...
The best bodge I have come up with so far is to wind the grub-screw into an M6 nut until the threads bind tight, I then file/saw/grind the nut down to give clearance, and finally, use a spherical grinding tool in my drill to create a cup in the top to seat the bulb.
A lick of black paint and the job's a good-un!
Obviously, the solution needs an Allen-key to hand, but for me, this is a minor compromise on my part to overcome what I feel is a major compromise by the manufacturers.
Too many guns, or not enough time?
Thanks for the reply Modski.
And the remedy.
Some of my favourite guns have those monstrosities hanging off the grip plate.

I will try and get some pictures posted up to make it a bit clearer.

These are the pictures of what I did with the magazine for my 84FS.
The base had a recess for the tab to fold in to, but it didn't really hide it. I used some black milliput and painted the whole base to give it a uniform appearance.
