[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Locktite on Jet Funnel Screw safe?

Posted: 4/11/2007 11:39:59 AM EDT

Ok now that I finally figured out how to install the jet funnel on my USP 9mm thanks to everyones advice. I took it out to the range and shot 400 rounds thru it. No problems at all. The only thing is that the jet funnel screw worked its way out a bit and the funnel moves left and right. I was wondering if its ok to use Locktite on the screw to hold it in place? Or should I just hand tighten the screw more?

Thanks
ESQ

Well, definitely hand tighten the screw more first. And only do it with a hex key that fits it perfectly.

Before you loctite the screw try putting a good amount of grease on the screw and tighten it.
Sometimes the suction of the grease will keep the screw in place.

Unfortunately, I have no way to tell you that. None of mine are labelled.

Ha, mine are labelled. The writing is just short of microscopic. I had to magnify it to be able to see it (and I'm still young!). 3mm is the correct fit for the screw on my JF kit.
