i took it off to sand and polish the sear, and now when im playing it keeps wanting to get loose, so i have to keep tightening the screws, its very annoying. any way i can make the screws stay in place

That or blue loctite

***martix_agent*** · February 14th, 03:01 PM

but NOT red...red you will never ever get off without lots and lots of force

**tmaxx_2.5** · February 14th, 03:38 PM

Why are you sanding your sear in the first place? Don't sand your sear.

Oh, and get some blue loc-tite.

**Marine0806** · February 14th, 06:44 PM

just did the polishing job that they had on ottersccustoms.com and i sanded everything it said, and one of those tihngs was the top of the sear. so i did

**tmaxx_2.5** · February 14th, 06:57 PM

so your sear can wear out faster and you'll have to get a new one? I'm against sanding sears, just my opinion.

i would agree with tmaxx on this one

**andisblue** · February 18th, 08:10 AM

maybe otter didnt mean sand the sharp edge off the sear, maybe he meant to just polish the top where it rubs.... i dunno ignore me if i'm wrong

***onesikpup*** · February 18th, 08:47 AM

thats exactly what he meant. rounding off the corner in any way will cause failure.

**tmaxx_2.5** · February 18th, 03:34 PM

indeed, don't mess with your sear in any way..

**Kirkysboy** · February 18th, 06:00 PM

Teflon tape and/or Blue Loctite should be in your tool box at all times. And Otter just says to lightly sand the top part of the sear (not enough to take wear it away or round it off). You need to sand a little to smooth it out to work in the polish, it wont harm it if you do it right. If you do it to much your going to have recocking issues with the sear and stricker timing along with dwell problems.
