Barrel is coming loose.

[/\ngel]

My barrel seems to come loose all the time. I always tighten it after it does, but then it always finds a way to come loose again! Whats the deal?

[sharps990]

yea it tends to do that with everygun without an o-ring on the threads to hold it in

you just have to tighten it whenever you knotice it...and make it a habbit

Ok, why is it like that?

[APachon]

who knows, minor problem. Get a bbl kit and it is no longer a concern

[/\ngel]

now for the o-ring....do you put it in front of the treads, on the treads, or behind the threads?

behind the threads...as in slide the o-ring over and past the threads

[APachon]

tgallo got it dead on. Try to prevent the O-ring from rolling on itself as well.

or put in an o-ring

~AThat's the ticket. Every one of my dozen barrels I have around have an o-ring on them for this purpose.

I never thought there would be a threat of this, i guess somepeople failed Paintball 101. J/k the oring trick will fix that problem.
