Two vibration-related issues that I'm experiencing:
The barrel (the stock barrel, which, yes, will be replaced soon, but that's not the point...) likes to vibrate loose, especially when playing fast and hard or when dry firing. I'm thinking of putting some Teflon tape on the threads, just to give it a bit more on which to grab, but since Teflon is slippery, that seems kind of counter-productive. Thoughts? I'm using an Evil Universal Mount, which is a Check-It Unimount cleverly concealed by an Evil logo (*rolls eyes*). At any rate, the darn thing likes to rattle; the dovetail on the ASA and the adaptor do not a perfect pair make. I've tried adjusting the set screw to the point where I was starting to bend my Torx bit, so that's not the answer. Should I accept this as a fact of life, or should I just Superglue the assembly together? Is there a middle ground here? Your suggestions are much appeciated
I should emphasize--the gun shoots like a dream, even with the barrel loose. I just don't want it doing something foolish like falling off, and I can't imagine that a loose barrel can get away with not affecting accuracy.
My setup has changed a little since last time I posted pics. In particular, the Slayer has sent my game through the roof. Consistently firing 19 bps and hitting 24 is a good way to prove a trigger's value. Yum! If y'all can help me get this worked out, I'll post some fresh views of my baby. (*bribe* *bribe* hehe)
Thanks!,
