Fire button unscrewing on panzer clone

[ceejkay]

So i picked up a panzer mod not to long ago. great little piece IMO. i do have a problem that is annoying the crap out of me. Every couple hours or so i have to pull the button off and tighten down the contact. its the piece from the button on the bottom and the contact that touches the battery. is there anything i can do to keep this from happening? loctite maybe? superglue? any advice would be helpful.

Loctite... yes, but only a very tiny - as in "tip of a toothpick tiny" amount - or you can lose conductivity.
There are electrically conductive adhesives... some can be disassembled with modest heat, others are pretty permanent.
Or... you can screwdriver slot the contact head with a Dremel or jeweler's file.

thank you, ill look into some of the conductive adhesives.

I use cotton or any matter that won't explode or scratch like small o-ring pieces or paper towel and fill the switch contact cap threaded hole just enough to give the threads some traction when tightened and still have good switch throw.. Works for me..

I had the same problem. I just used a small amount of loctite and its been fine. No noticeable loss of conductivity.
