TM hicapa rail

Matt_M · September 19th, 2005, 22:37

it doesn't really bother me too much but i installed the rail that comes with the hicapa today. I screwed in tight, however, i noticed after firing about 70 rounds it had come loose and was moving around a little, so i opened the gun back up and tightened the screws again, and all was fine. I put the slide back on, and put another 50-70 rounds through it and noticed again that it had come loose. Any suggestions?

Locktite is your friend...just not the purple one.... red or blue will do the job quite nicely...

You can put a drop of hot stick glue over or under the screws. If you don't have a glue gun, a small ball of poster gum on the screw threads will do.

Or Locktite, like Vondnik suggested.

We are talking about the stock plastic outer barrel here right? Wait...the plastic one piece barrel/chamber...how the heck did you do that?

Same thing happened to me a couple of months ago, secured them together with epoxy resin glue, not coming apart again.

its not a 1 peice outer barrel/chamber. the nice chrome part we see is just a cover. there is actually a thread for who knows what right at the chamber.
I used silicone to put it back on, didnt want to permantly fix it to it incase it was ment to come off.
