Hi gang,
I'm needing your help and/or advice.
The screw that holds the breech on is coming loose as I use my Crosman 140.
I was wondering if any of you had some good ideas of how to keep it tight.
Thanks |

| You mean it is loosening out, or it is stripping the threads? If loosening, use a mid-strength Loctite (blue colored, #242 I think is the correct number). |

| Blue Loctite is great. It will keep the screw in place, but still allows you to take it apart later. |

I was thinking Low-Strenght Purple 222 Loctite
I supply Blue 242 in the re-bolt kits... I have not found 222 in single use packets.
From MidwayUSA
http://www.midwayusa.com/Eproductpage.Exe/showproduct?saleitemid=445105
For years, gunsmiths have turned to Loctite for securing screws and other threaded parts on their projects. Each formula has unique features that make it perfect for various applications around the shop. Purple Threadlocker (222) is for use on set screws, calibration screws, meters and gauges. This non-wicking formula is recommended for fasteners from #2 through 1/4" and cures in 10 minutes with full strength in 24 hours. This threadlocker is low strength and requires only handtools to remove once applied.
For more technical information please view the Purple Threadlocker (222) Technical Data Sheet.
