rick57 Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 My Stock and foregrip keep coming loose I dont tighten them up too much because I dont know how tight you can make them before they crack. IM thinking of using silicone rubber on the bolts.Any ideas or other things to try?I emailed the factory twice and havent heard back yet.Until then I will just take a screw driver to the range thanks rickl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadycon Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 With the correct Loctite the screws can be remove easily but the vibration will not loosen them. Sillycon will be a big mess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baltimoreed11754 Posted April 20, 2019 Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) Keep it simple, try a shakeproof washer between the wood and bolthead. The kind with all the little teeth. Might need new bolts if threads are wallowed. Edited April 26, 2019 by Baltimoreed11754 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick57 Posted April 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 or lock washer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baltimoreed11754 Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) Lock washers are made for metal to metal, are a lot heavier and require more torque to tighten than shakeproof washers with all the little teeth that can bite into a walnut stock and a stock screw to keep things from vibrating loose.
