Last evening when I picked up my 0.30 FX Maverick by the barrel it came out of the gun, WTF!!! The barrel slides easily in and out! There is a set screw near where the magazine goes but it does absolutely nothing. How is it possible to have a gun with no way to secure the barrel in place? What am I missing here?

Something is wrong. Obviously wrong. The set screw holds the brass barrel tube adapter in place. When correct it holds well enough you can tension with a shroud spacer.
Look to see why the set screw isn't doing set screw things?

Never mind, I'm an idiot! What I thought was a set screw securing the barrel is just a screw holding on the cheek piece. When I removed the cheek piece I saw the actual set screw and it was loose. I tightened it down and now all is good!!

Join the club. We're thinking of starting a club with shirts, but no one knows how to spell idiot. Oh, wait? Is that right?
