Re: SmokeWagon Range Report
For the first application, I applied a very little amount to the screw, itself. Sadly, after firing another 50 rounds yesterday, that screw came loose again. Today, I'll add a bit more, possibly to the threads in the barrel. I'll keep you posted.ditto1958 wrote:I have the same problem with my Ruger Blackhawk. Although I have not done it yet, I’m told that the fix is to shorten the screw a bit.
Does one "shorten the screw a bit" with a file? I'd hate to screw it up!

Re: SmokeWagon Range Report
Nice shooting CT_Shooter,
I have had the same issue with several single action revolvers. I now always use a generous amount of blue Loctite on all the screws. Never tried the purple, that may be better. I generally re-apply it after taking of the ejector rod housing for a thorough cleaning. I have never had them come loose after using the blue Loctite.
