I need to clean the thing til it's DRY and try again. <br /><br />On other guns, like my snubbie's side plate, and the SIG's grip screws, only one screw has gotten loose of the 7 treated. And that was one of the grip screwsNew Jovian Thunderbolthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09452246769246304612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-32576264082152611942011-02-01T07:01:31.455-05:002011-02-01T07:01:31.455-05:00I'll ask a newb question here.

Is this an appropriate place to apply (blue) loktite?<br /><br />When I say blue loktite, I mean the stuff I always see on laptop screws when I'm disassembling them. It seems to keep the screws from backing out, but IME anyway doesn't affect my ability to unscrew with a screwdriver. Maybe they're a little tighter...Ian Argenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03704336044732061128noreply@blogger.com
