DRamsey Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Anybody know what the threads are on a SVI mag release 4-40 or 5-40? Thanks I guess I've got a 50/50 chance at getting it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.40AET Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 SPECS: Steel, matte blue finish. Tapped, 4-40 tpi. STI mag catch from Brownell's. I have a STI button on my SV mag release and it went in correctly. Buy extra's if you order the screws, they aren't easy to find locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRamsey Posted August 14, 2004 Author Share Posted August 14, 2004 Why can't I loctite the button on? They make a "blue" loctite that can be removed if need be. Is there a reason not to loctite the mag button? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry White Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Use blue, be sure not to get it inside the body of the release, it can lock up the spring. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSeevers Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 I don't loctite them since you need to remove mag release to deep clean the gun. I also found a source for the Allen head 4-40 screws. RC Hobby shop. There are used to secure motors in the little race cars. 4 for 99 cents! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 If you don't Loctitite the button, it's going to end up in the same place my Dawson LoPro button is: downtown nowheresville. All it takes is a little heat to loosen it. Who actually cleans their gun anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Even Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Like Eric said, use Loctite. How often do you really need to take the trigger out? even Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRamsey Posted August 14, 2004 Author Share Posted August 14, 2004 I'm thinking a little dab will do me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLISH LOCK Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 i use LOCTITE #222 low strength it even says on the label for 1/4" and smaller works good and still easy to remove without heat just remember to clean both threads of oil, etc. i use LOCTITE #7649 primer before assmbly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wide45 Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 No loctite needed. Use a very small O-ring under the screw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dream Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 I have found that on screws that have to be removed often use super glue just a drop on the threads works fine. it holds buttons in well and when you want to remove it just a little preasure and it unscrews freely. and if you happen to get the glue in the wrong place, just a little heat and you can clean it up nicely.
