Dont just tighten it up as itll loosen up again. Heres what to do...Loosen the allen bolts, apply RED loctite to the threads on both allen bolts, tighten and stake with a punch.. Or a screwdriver ( punch is best but a screwdriver will work)...Shouldnt shoot while its loose like that..

Tighten and stake the screws. That should keep it from coming loose again.

Peeps are those marshmallow things you get on easter. Shaped like ducks or other things. And on halloween, they're shaped like black cats and what not. You know...peeps. |

ok, super n00b question, how does one go about staking? In my assembly book, it says to stake it, but not exactly what that entails. I am thinking there is a guide online someplace if anyone knows the wherabouts, I did a search earlier with no luck.

Here is how to do it..
1) loosen bolts 2) apply red Loctite to threads 3) cinch down as tight as humanly possible.. ( dont break your allen key though) 4) place the punch in the gap between the allen bolt and the carrier. Picture this.. You have cinched down the bolts tightly. When the allen bolt is seated, and you are looking down at it, there is a small gap between the head of allen bolt, and the hole where it went in thru the carrier. Place the tip of the punch in this gap and whack the piss out of it ONE time. Do this operation two times per allen bolt on opposite sides. ie. You have a punch mark at 3 and 9 o'clock, two marks on each allen head bolt. Email me and Ill send you a pic if you need it.. John |

The purpose of staking is to create a deformity (sp?) between the screw and the carrier so the screw is "packed" or "staked" into place.
Maybe that will help you visualize the process better. |

Yah, the probs you always read with M1S are 1) Lower Parts Kits 2) Bolt assemblies - since this was my first build, I figured if I had a problem with either it would be easy enough to work through them if they in fact happened. Everypoll that has been on here, has mostly been favorable for M1S, so I gambled. I might add, I did two kits at the same time, the A-2 has been fine to date, we shall see at 15,000 rounds :p.

John thanks for the pic plus info. I got the stuff today and staked the bolt. I wont get a chance to fire until next weekend, so the loctite should get good and solid. Thanks much all, I think the carrier will be far sturdier than when I started! - Gazukull |
