sps Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Hi all, I just bought a new trigger for my SPS Plus II. The trigger is a long/flat one from SVI's *(their Interchangeable Trigger System). It's a great trigger, but the only problem is that after some 100-150 rounds the adjustment setscrew "travels" a bit forward due to vibration and consequently the triggers is "locked". I was thinking using some kind of threadlock adhesive (SV uses one but they do not specify) on the adjustment setscrew, but I don't want to use a too strong adhesive (such as "Locktite") which wont allow any future adjustment of the trigger. I tried to use silicone, but it seems that I'll need some less thick substance. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywalker Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 sps, you need a thread locker like locktite Red or Blue. I used locktite blue there, and never regretted it: it will hold the set, but if you need to unscrew the grain you still can (with some moderate force).

sps Posted July 19, 2004 Author Share Posted July 19, 2004 Thanks you for your prompt reply Skywalker, could you tell me which one of the two is stronger? the blue or the red? sps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywalker Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 You're welcome. Red one is stronger, and is usually applied where parts have to be definitevely locked together. Never used it, because I like to be able to disassemble whatever comes into my hands... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterLefty Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Red applied to screws smaller than #10 (.190") is considered permanment. Use the blue on the small screws in the trigger. Kenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.40AET Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Use a hairdrier or heat gun to warm it up if you have problems getting the screw back out once it's dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Use LocTite blue for set-and-forget, or purple if you will be adjusting it constantly. Do not use red. Clean the threads and use only a tiny bit of LocTite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sps Posted July 22, 2004 Author Share Posted July 22, 2004 Thank you all guys, i went to the range yesterday and it seems that the blue loctite did the job. May the force be with you all! sps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
