    Loctite for a semi-permenant fix or you can use teflon tape to tighten the threading if you remove it often.

      use a drop of blue loctite, it wont hold it too tight, as itll still be easy to take off, but enough so that it wont viberate loose

        Check-it

        Check It makes the uni-mount.

        You guys need to know first what part gets loose first before you jump in with a quick "Locktite it" Or "Teflon tape it" Not trying to jump down someones throat

        So which part gets loose? The part that pushes the pin valve in to your bottle? The 4 set screws that hold the body to the cage? The 2 screws holding the cage to the grip?

          if it was like mine it is the two screws that hold the carriage to the gun
          all i did was a little tefflon tabe and a good torque with the old allen wrench and it hasnt come loose at all the last 8 or nine times ive played before that it would start to wiggle about everyother time i played with it.
          BHH!! one step above

              i had that problem, i hated unimounts for that
              fit a small oring over the screw, and tighten hard!

              i know how everything it gets loose, you hae to undo the macrofitting, i know that gets annoying, dremel out one side of the cage so the asa just slips in and out


              I do know the AO sig rules, I just want a free sig pic, that's all! :mad:

                Blue Locktite or green Locktite it!

                I've played for 2 monthe with mine and never had a problem-NO Nocktite. Might try a can of V-8 Seriously though, try torquing down more on it. I work with SS screws and aluminum all the time so my "feel" may be calibrated for the torque required but you will feel that point where the screw won't get any more tighter.
