A dab of blue loc-tite on the threads will fix this problem.

Blue loctite is non-permanent
Red is the stuff to avoid

I am out of blue loc tite, but I found a new solution! But some teflon tape or some nonstick tape on the thread of the screw.... It should wrap around the thread only once.

Really? I've always just used red and never had any problems. That's mostly all on automotive stuff though. I've never seen the blue stuff.

I had the same problem and just put some blue loctite on my detent screws and that solved it for me.

I shot threw 2500 psi dry fire and they don't wiggle around, so I think it works.

I use teflon tape on all my screws and barrels on every gun I have owned and never have to worry about things comming loose or threads being damaged.
