Uh oh!! Well that’s not good...
I thought just the scope base screws came loose but two of the three screws sheered in half!
That scope base has seen 1500+ rounds since I got it in February 2019, so it held up for a little while. @dhuze I broke another gun...kinda I guess my reloads were a wee bit too stout....
I’m hoping the screws can easily be removed from the shroud. Dan Wesson is closed otherwise I’d just ship it to their revolversmith and have them fix it. But it doesn’t seem like it should be that difficult for a machinist? I can’t remember if I put blue loctite on the screws. I definitely didn’t use red Loctite though.
Maybe just use an easy out tool? Going to bring it by Northeast Arms this week see if they can get the screws out then I’ll just have to try to find new screws. Also hoping the threads aren’t junk.
It would be nice if I could prevent them from breaking again. I almost wonder if they started loosening up and I continued shooting which broke them?
Shit I thought I’d break the scope before the scope base or the screws...
