I guess this is not a good thing.............................Help Me

Looks like you just lost a bolt out of the ejector. I read somewhere else in the forum that you should keep a check on these and if you find them loose, take out the bolts, clean, add some locktight and retighten. Sounds like good advice.

If you can't round up a new replacement bolt or find yours, a call to RA would probably get one sent to you.

Hopefully some of the other guys will chime in here and confirm this. I am a new XCR owner too.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

YES, you lost your bolt, I think I read that RA is using light strength locktight. I would use medium stregnth blue when you get the new one. You can get them from RA on there web site. I bought 2 extra bolts & washers and a extra extractor for mine. Got them in about 2 weeks after I ordered them.

Don't be heart broken! :-[

You just need a new bolt/washer, some locktight and about 2 minutes and you'll be good as new

First he needs to get that snapped off bolt out of there.... shouldnt be too difficult, just a bit time consuming.

That's not a snapped off bolt, just the other side view of the remaining bolt. Easy/quick fix.

Doh! Nevermind.....

Too early in the morning when I posted that.... yeah thats it! :-X

I want to publicly thank Robinson Arms and Especially Alex Robinson for their actions on my problem. I am just a regular guy and feel that I was treated like their number one customer. All problems fixed well beyond expectations.

Ok guys, time to admit it, I do not know what locktight (sp) is or where to get it. How do you apply it once you get it, LOL

Replies MUCH appreciated.

PS- My rifle is home, looks great, and the new gas system, in a word, AWESOME.

You can get locktite at just about any auto parts store.
First you will want to clean the threads of the bolt and the bolt hole with a degreaser, then just put a drop of the locktite on the bolt threads and re-assemble.

I think I can handle that.

99,

it's like a glue that sits in the threads so the screw/bolt is more resistant to backing out and coming loose.

the blue is really pretty good, and the red is just harder to get out later. after break in i expereinced similar issues ans i went thru the whole gun and locktited everything except the barrel nut which shouldnt be done anyway.

IGNORE the name of BLUE and RED loctite.

Ask for Removable Threadlocker.

Look for the number, either #242 or #222

As an example my BLUE loctite actually has a RED cap, don't know why but ask for it by number not colour.

Personally, I would use 243 which is an oil resistant medium strength removable threadlocker.

All of the Home Depot stores also carry it.
