Bmans45 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I put a roller handle on my 550 this weekend. Got it all tight and started loading . About every 100 rounds the handle works loose at the nut. I thought about drilling and pinning it but I thought I would see if anybody had any suggestions.

12glocks Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I put channel locks on the handle shaft near the bottom and the appropriate box end wrench on the nut and tighten it. It scratches the surface of the handle a little but does not move. I found just holding the handle and tightening did not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Mine has stayed tight from day one. I just held onto the handle and tightened the lock nut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, did the same. Use a socket and ratchet or a box/combination wrench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ming the Merciless Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I read this and thought "That's odd, both of my roller handles have flat spots on the arm for a crescent wrench for tightening the nut" So I went out and looked, sure enough both had flat spots on the arm . Hmm, why are you guys missing this? Closer inspection and a faint memory of having a machinist buddy grind the flats shows the application of cold blue that doesn't match the rest of the arm. DOH!

My machinist buddy is a wiseacre which is why both of my roller handle arms have flats ground into them for a 14mm wrench and why I said flats for a Crescent wrench!

bubbadoc Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Blue Locktite or a wrap of teflon tape is an option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
