Hey guys,

As you all know by now, I have a stainless 3" Palmer Mass made 715-FB in 357 Magnum.

The problem I'm having is when I shoot it, the ejector / extractor rod is unscrewing from the star thing that the case rims sit on. It isn't bad enough that it makes the gun stop working, but it is a bit of a pain cause every time I reload, I have to give that rod a turn or so to tighten it back up.

Is there any way to prevent this? Perhaps a tiny bit of loctite?

I have seen the picture of using the cases in the cylinder to prevent rotation, and using pliers of some kind to screw it in, but I'd rather not do that if possible for fear of damaging the gun.

Can anybody offer any advice here?

Thanks!

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

I agree with Steve you could use blue Loctite. A veryveryvery little bit. Then you should have no problem unscrewing it any time later if you want for cleaning etc.
