Loose grip screw
« on: September 17, 2009, 03:58:22 PM »
Just got back from the range (37 rounds).  The right top grip screw came loose without me noticing and the last 3 rounds wouldn't feed.  I tightened up the screws when I got home, but there is a click of some kind somewhere around the trigger.

I can't pinpoint it (without disassembly) but when I hold it upright and turn it 45 degrees to the right I get the click every time.  Something is obviously loose inside.

Also, the right grip is still not 100% flush, as I can see through the panel to the outside back of the pistol.  Is it safe to disassemble or should I be working on the grip instead?

Thanks for any help.

I would look at this thread.  http://www.rohrbaughforum.com/YaBB.cgi?board=Cleaning;action=display;num=1239329782

You probably need to put the trigger spring back on.

David.  I think you're right on the money.

The spring was indeed the problem.

I used the link you put up and the hex tool idea worked so well it took only a few seconds to secure the spring!

Thanks, guys!
