bennyblanco Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 The threads should be quite a loose fit so the rear bush can align the moderator, is it second hand? and is the bush a nice tight fit on the barrel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rem223 Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 You could use something like loctite thread lock, but make sure it is one that is designed to be removable. Or I would put a couple of wraps of teflon tape that plumbers use around the threads to pack them out a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
