Wiggly outer barrel.

Post2013-09-21 / 01:42 UTC GMT +00:00

I find my outer barrel gets wiggly after a few games, is this normal? I typically just tighten the two screws on the side of the outer barrel.

I was thinking of putting locktite in the screws so they don't wiggle out, would that be a good idea?

Hey Iceman

I did put 242 (BLUE) loctite on those set screw a couple of weeks ago.
they are pretty small 3mm you can pick-up a little 5ml tube of 262 (RED) loctite at Canadian Tire that is permanent but the size of the set screw is tough to lock that in permanently.

Oh, I thought you said you put the locktite on another screw, thanks.
