Good Morning Folks,
I have a HW 95 in .177 and a HW 80 in .22. Last weekend the center stock bolt fell out of both of them on the same day within 10 minutes of each other. I have had the HW 95 for about a year and the HW 80 for about a month. So about 500 or so rounds out of the 95 and about 100 out of the 80. So now I am thinking I need to use thread locker to keep those bolts in. The question is Lock Tite Red or Blue. I would prefer the Blue because it is less difficult to take apart when necessary.
A friend of mine says to use clear fingernail polish to keep the bolts in. Anyone ever try that?
Any help you can provide is most appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill.
