A year or three back I decided I wanted to see the insides of my Taurus Model 66. I removed the sideplate screws (keeping careful track of which ones went where), removed the sideplate, and satisfied my monkey curiosity.
I put everything back together successfully. Everything works. The problem is that the sideplate screws keep loosening now.
What I've done is to take a square of plumber's teflon tape, set it over a given screwhole, and screw the screw in over that. That seems to work ok to hold the screws in place.
My question is, what's the _right_ way to do this?
