Re: Check your screws
Good info, thanks. My wife thinks I have a screw loose.

Just one?
Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.
Re: Check your screws
I just noticed my receiver mounted Skinner peep was loose today and had to tighten it up. I was wondering if I needed some blue loctite? Any advice?

Re: Check your screws
In the movies, you never see a cowboy pausing a gunfight to tighten the screws on his six gun
, but the screws on my Uberti/Taylors SmokeWagon .357 SAA (especially the ejector rod screw) still loosen after a couple hundred rounds, even after a proper application of Blue Loctite. I'll give Purple a try.

Re: Check your screws
These are the Loctite differences. Avoid red, it's fairly permanent.
