Rocket35 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 The insert is so loose the it slides so easily that I am afraid it will fall out or slide to the point of jamming up against the frame. I need some advice on how to best fix this issue. Thanks in advance for you help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Cheely Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 The overtravel screw should capture the insert making it impossible to fall out or jam against the frame. If you are careful you can squeeze the top & bottom of the base to hold the insert better, or add a bit of JB weld might be easier for you...

el pres Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Mines so tight I'm afraid I'll break something taking it off and on (creaking tight). Tweeking the base should tighten it up like Matt mentioned... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket35 Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 I may try tweaking it before the JB weld. But the set screw had to be screwed in to the point it is past the insert's hole.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singlestack Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Thats strange. Perhaps you could find a longer screw? I like the positive lock the overtravel screw provides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Hello: Try some red Loctite. It holds in loose crank bearings on 2 stroke motorcycle engines. A little goes a long way. It can be removed with a little heat as well. Hope this helps. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might need a longer screw. What shape, length and color insert is it? I have a couple extras here and might have what you're looking for. All the ones I've used have been so tight as to require taping them in with a mallet (no mar). R, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket35 Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 I put some Blue #242 locktite on there and it seems to be doing the trick so far. Seems pretty solid now. We will see after a match! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckbradley Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 This may not apply but it is strange the screw is turned in far enough to clear the insert unless of course when turning the screw in to remove or install a new insert you did not remove the mag catch. Not removing the mag catch and turning in the screw will actually pull the trigger shoe base off the bow. This would then require the screw be turned in further to adjust over travel and clear the shoe as you have described. I probably did a terrible job describing this.

Not a bad description and is a possibility... Or the screw could be too short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket35 Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 I don't think that is the case, but I will check into it. Thanks for all the help guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
