barrel keeps coming loose

[chris w]

as it says, my barrel becomes loose during play, is this normal?
its only becoming loose by a small, its not as if its unscrewing itself every 3 minutes but you get what i mean?

is there any way of stopping it?
as iv got no air and paint i cant really test, but will an o-ring do the job and hold it for atleast a bit longer?
or any other suggestions?

cheers,
chris

yup, a normal tank o-ring (15/70 or 15/90) does the job, I suppose a slightly bigger o-ring could be used for ease of getting it on there.

I think most if not all barrels come with an o ring

Loctite 271.... lol, just make sure you have a blow torch handy when you wanna change barrels. If you get an o-ring that is half the diameter of the barrel and stretch it over it will be thin enough to work, don't use one that is a similair size though or it will just get caught in the thread and shred.
