ihocky2 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 While opening the cylinder on my 610, the threaded stud snapped off. I ordered a new locking bolt and the first one I was sent was stainless, but the front pin was too short and did not line up flush with the recoil shield. I returned it and was sent a MIM one that is long enough. The problem with this one is that the threaded stud is loose. Soon as I get the nut for the cylinder release snug, the entire stud spins, is this normal? Should the be silver soldered or something or is this supposed to be a tight press fit from the factory?

Toolguy Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 The threaded stud should not spin. You may be able to set the stud on a hard surface and peen it from the back side to tighten up. It would be best to put a nut on the threads to prevent damage. You may be able to tighten it up with red or green Loctite, working it into the joint. Be sure to clean well with solvent first and blow the solvent out with compressed air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihocky2 Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 Thanks Warren, the stud being loose didn't seem right. Peening was going to be me next option, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I would replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
