SW22 Vicky loose nuts.

Now I'm worried. Watch this video. at exactly 1:37 we see the threaded... "undernut" rotate clockwise as he cleans the threads. I don't think he even notices. Does your Vicky do this? This sucks. LMKYTs.

At 2:01 he was tightening the spanner nut with his fingers.

I think I'd want to put a drop of blue Locktite on it to keep it from spinning.

Even if every one and their brother wasn't having this problem I would not buy a gun that had a screw that was part of the regular take down not mention holding the barrel on the gun. Glad to see Ruger didn't follow that lead with the new MKIV.

Think of all the threaded devices, nuts and bolts that hold your cars together.
Nothing wrong with them if they are designed correctly.
I have an old rimfire pistol that has a little screw for take down and it's never caused a single problem.

Right... agreed. But to add to the general nut stew, that thing turns in it's recess. How can that possibly hold the barrel if it's loose? How is it attached? What are those three holes?
