Tangent395 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I have had my strain screw on my jm625 backing out during dry dire practice. Is anyone else experiencing similar or have a solution to prevent this? Is this a serious problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolguy Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) This is a common problem. The best fix is to clean with solvent, then coat the screw and hole threads with blue 242 or purple 222 Loctite, assemble and tighten the screw and wipe off any excess Loctite. A Q tip will help get into the corners. Blue and Purple can be undone easily without heat. Don't use red or green. They require a lot of heat to break loose.

Cuz Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Just use some blue lecture to secure it. Is it screwed in all the way, securely? Many folks back out the screw to lighten the trigger pull, but a better method is to shorten the screw so that it’s always tightened securely.

revoman Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 If you ever use or have to break red loctite use some bees wax. I have used this numerous times and is an old machinists trick. You will be amazed and just enough heat to melt the wax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pskys2 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) Just don't overdo it, don't want Loc-Tite inside. If you don't have loc-tite you can also use finger nail polish. Oh and if it's happening on that screw check the others & the Strain Screw. For some reason lately I've had that issue with mine, rarely had it before but I'm putting a lot of rounds down range, so I cleaned "everything" and put just a drop of 242 on "all" of the screws (except for the sight adjustments of coursed) including the thumb release screw & the sight base screw as I have had them loosen up in the past too. Just a drop mind you though. Edited July 11, 2020 by pskys2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melting it on top of the screw that you want to remove? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revoman Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Yes just melt it into the threads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
