George, the other screw kit showed up...thanks!
I'm putting the screws in the trigger assembly, and I'm wondering what the nuts are for here. Since the screws are going into a threaded trigger housing, they tighten against the housing without torquing the screw tight. What am I missing? |
| Just a little extra friction to keep them from backing out I guess. Put mine in today too, only required two trips across town to the hardware store for tools I didn't have! Now I've got a pretty nice T-9 screwdriver I'll more than likely never use again... oh well. |

Yeah, they can't come loose because they're sitting in the hexagonal recesses, was just wondering if there was a trick to getting them to torque down. Guess I'll just leave 'em in there a little loose. Thanks. I just put mine all the way at the bottome of the little hexagonal holes and hold them there with another screw driver so the screw will hit the threads right as they leave the hole. Mine seem nice and tight. |

I'm not an engineer but those hex recesses you speak of are called nut-wells. GSG I believe did use them in the earlier models but they caused problems when they worked loose. My nuts are very well, thank you. 
The only thing that *could* work loose is the screw, since the nut can't turn in the 'well'. That's happening with their screw hardware anyway, so I think they went the wrong direction in their design progression. |

I must state again that there is no way the nuts can come loose or out of their housings unless the screw has walked almost completely out. |
