Buy recommendations Watch my local gunsmith make 200$

This is the second time this happens (after 500 rounds and +115 rounds after that).

Because I re-screwed the picatinny rail screws and added blue loctite myself (which wasn't done from the factory), I've voided the warrant for this component according to Stoeger Canada. So basically I can't screw in my own loose screws without voiding warranty on the screws and threads.

I was gonna recommend all Beretta 1301 owners to loctite their thread when they buy their brand new shotgun, but I can't even properly recommend that.

Did you torque it?

I'll be honest brotha, I didn't torque it to a specific spec, I just made it not too tight, not too loose. But it wouldn't have mattered warranty wise because "Once a customer either removes / installs parts or does anything with any type of fastener or part on a firearm that leads to failure. The warranty on those parts is then voided."

Maybe if i had torqued it exactly to spec, it wouldn't have flown off the second time. Oh well, live and learn.

Dude buy a $50 torque driver, it’ll last you forever.

Good advice, thanks. Or I'll borrow one from a friend
