FA 454
Since I had to go to work early today, after breakfast I skipped the chore of getting my casting area ready to go for tomorrow, and decided to clean and oil my FA, I had negelected to do so after my last outing 2 weeks ago, can't believe it slipped my mind. Well I discovered I am going to need to carry a srewdriver with me when I go target shooting, after 70 rounds, 2 of the grip frame screws were very loose, and the base pin screw was loose to the point it had allowed the base pin to move under recoil, not good. I check the screws every time I shoot and every time I clean, so this was a real surprise. Not very happy with myself.
A multi tool is a good thing to carry at all times.

I cannot disagree. Thinking some Loctite 242 for the gripframe screws.
One of the first things I did with the Model 83 I had...
Was to blue-Loctite the grip frame screws.
The base pin lock screw never loosened on mine, but the gun was only a .44 Magnum...

Use 222 (purple) instead. Doesn't need reapplying each time
The screw is removed.
Thanks
Thanks John, that sounds even better.
