Greetings,

New here so hello.

I was screwing in the charging bolt for the 1st time and it seemed difficult to get it to seat down. I unscrewed it couple times and brushed the threads. Has anyone else experienced issues with the threading on charging bolt?

The roller knob Itself needs to be loose on the bolt and should be oriented like this:

Because the roller knob is also the lock back mechanism. Like this:

The nut itself is a locknut with an internal nylon bushing. So it should be a bit tight.

Thanks, it seems to be working fine. Looking forward to firing it.

My 995 unscrews itself after about 2 magazine's of fireing!

I use the tool that comes with it to seat that bolt so I can run my 4595 without it coming loose. I don't use any thread locker because I take it apart to clean it after every range trip.

You can use thread lock and still remove it. Depending on the brand. Red is permanent unless you use heat. Blue is temporary and just secures it. Generally. Or you can use finger nail polish as a temp thread lock.

I use blue all the time on it and all my gun screws and bolts. You can also use it on pins.

I'm sure some ass will be alone to go full retard and over explain it. Waiting.....

I think I like the nail polish idea. I haven't had to use anything like that and hope I don't have to start. My carbine and I have a pretty good deal with our current set-up.

It works but flakes after it dries. Just get the blue locktite. I really do use it all the time. And you don't have to reapply it generally. Nail polish you do.

Well, I'd be reapplying the Lok-Tite, too, since I clean my 4595 after every session. Then again, the residual on the threads might keep me from having to do that.

You don't have to if you don't wipe of the threads. I put the locktite on the treads and let dry. Then tighten it down.
Some oils and solvents eat away the locktite. We use the permanent stuff at work. Its only temporary with our coolant. We don't need to apply heat. It just dissolves away after a time. The coolant is basically a vegetable oil mixed in DI water and it eats most everything. Seals get replaced regularly.

Come to think of it, that's how the threads are already treated when you get a new MBUS, and I've never had them come loose again when I unscrew them and tighten them back down to change them from one rifle to another.

Vegetable oil and DI water (or maybe even distilled water, too) eats red Loc-Tite... Hmmm... That sounds like a good way to break that stuff without having to heat it with a torch.

I wonder if you could soak a part in the stuff for a day or so to make that work.

It takes longer Ithink. When we locktite its supposed to be not removed. We use it a lot on key thread locks. After they get stripped out most of the time I can get them out with out drilling. Assembly uses the same one and never has issues. You wouldn't want to keep and store this crap. Bacteria can gown in it easy and them it stinks. Its also classified as a solvent/irritant if it gets on you it itches and you break out. Only good thing is its supposed to be natural and biodegradable. If it spills on the ground or into a drain by accident its not a big deal.

I have used red in automotive applications. I can't remember where. I do know it wasn't that hard to remove. I have used silicone RTV to stop screws on throttle adjustments on carbs.

Now was it permanent or removable? Different brands use different colors and numbers. I stick with 1 brand so I know what I've got.

RTV is silicone gasket sealer/maker, not thread locker. AKENPOOKIE to me. Carb cleaner with loosen it up. It peals out of threads with a finger nail.

You first said red. I was assuming you were talking about locktite since thats what we were discussing then you tossed in silicone.

You assumed right. I have used red Loctite on a car and easily removed that part. Just can't remember what part it was.
