586 L Comp won't open

[The Evangelist Cowboy]

Hey Guys,

So the new L Comp I bough is not opening, I have no idea why it was opening fine just a few hours ago, now I cant get the cylinder to swing open any suggestions before I call Smith?

Nevermind guys it was a loose ejector rod.... Some locktight is gonna happen

LOL I was about to suggest that when your second post popped while I was typing. Glad you found it. Loctite away.

Put empty cases in the chamber before you tighten it down.

Don't use strong Loctite, a tiny dab of blue is all you need.

I have been using the Loctite 222MS. It's a low strength version. It is more of an anti vibration then a thread locker.

Clear fingernail polish. That's the only thing I use.

It's what's holding my 44 Mag SBH Hunter together.

What does the MS in 222MS stand for, and how does it differ from the 222?

What I have.

The MS just means mil spec and is only a quality control thing. Functional properties should be the same.
