I have a small but annoying issue with my 715. As the title says the ejector rod comes loose after 50 or 60 shots. I've tried to tighten it as hard as I could using pliers and a towel to avoid scrathing it. Also I've cleaned the theads thoroughly. It wont come undone by hand, but by shooting it does. I have considered locktite but I'm looking for some advice before doing so. Any ideas then?

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

I asked this same question on here, was suggested either Locktite or a very small dab of nail polish.  Mine comes loose after about 20 rounds or so.

I'd try the clear nail polish first. If that doesn't do the trick step up yo Locktite.

Thanks guys! Yes Bruce I'll give it go with some nail polish first but I assume that any kind of enamel varnish will do.

Bruce likes clear polish so people don't make fun of him wearing it... but any color will work.  Husker red being best.

Technically, the glass is always full; half liquid, half air....
