Quoted:
A RH threaded can with booster from loosening while mounted on a LH metric thread?? Have a Cosmic (RH thread between can and booster) and mounted it on my USP (LH metric). When I went to tighten it on the USP, the can/booster loosened. Just hate to wait 15 mins for both to cool enough to grab both and tighten. Thank kids. |

Tighten it by grabbing the booster housing. My rev9 keep coming loose so I finally just rocksetted the crap out of it . Not coming off now

I read a trick here I believe. Hold onto the booster assembly of course as you tighten - initially, turn it pretty tight, then back off 1/4-1/8 turn and "snap" it tight again in one quick hard motion. Seems to work well.

Cool. Will try.
Just want to be sure so I can change out the piston later for a different threading. |

AAC 45M - RH housing, RH end cap, LH piston (G19/G21)
Like others have said I grasp at both the tube and end cap, which is easy with this can because it's all tool less and I check tightness often. With someone else shooting, I'll download them under 10 rounds just so I can manage tightness, I'm a little paranoid. |
