I am curious as to whether your VA has a bit of "slop" to it that allows side to side motion even then the screws are completely tightened.

Also, when you have a proper fitting allen key inserted into the head of the VA screws, do you notice a bit of side-to-side slop in the movement of the key (instead of having a perfect fit).

I'm just curious because seeing how the VA screws will be a pain in the ass to take out if my VA screws are not in tip top shape (if they are already beginning to wear...maybe I used a wrong sized key very early on), I would like to install new ones before they become a problem.

Thanks in advance for the replies!

Cheers,

Mind you that the ones I have are about 9 years old, there is nothing that feels loose, and it is hard to get the Allen key started because it has to be just right, or it won't go in.

I bought mine after I had my Phantoms already, so I never had an issue with loc tite.

mine dont wiggle at all. you might want to change to new ones and see if it still does it. the holes in the trigger guard might be big.

Yeah, I think I will swap out the screws for new ones as prophylaxis.

I took a nasty dive a season or two ago that totalled my barrel and stock class feed, so that may be the cause of the problem  Grin

Thanks all!
