One should try wrapping the bottom threads with some Teflon tape and see if that snug it.
Thanks. I was thinking about putting something under the button cover to stop me from mashing the button down so hard.
There was a recent thread (which I can't seem to find right now) about slipping an o-ring over the button, before you put the button cover on. That will limit how far down you can push on the button and might just solve your problem
I don't think its a job for most people . A guy with a little mechanical ability can pull it off . I use a punch if you place it just before the threaded hole and wack it with a hammer you can close the threaded hole up enough your screw will work . I use to make a bracket for these but I find it easier to use a flat punch and it looks factoryI asked Robert about his "fix" for it a while back, but I can't honestly remember what he said except something vague about a "bracket" (which could be totally wrong). So, Robert, when you're back from fishing AND things settle down a bit, is the "official fix" something we could do at home with minimum experience in working with metal?

The top cap should unscrew, then you can remove the afc ring from the base.i have a question. i have a reomiser 5.0. does anyone know how to remove the afc? i would like to remove it so i can put some teflon tape on the threads to tighten it up a bit. mine is very loose

As far as I know, you cant take the AFC ring off. Reomiser 5 aka Double Cross, is a 2 piece atty.
I have had few people send me their mods recently. They're aggravated they paid a lot of money for a mod and its not running like it was when they first got their mod.
I totally understand I would be unhappy myself. Their mods were dirty. It took me 10 seconds and they were running perfectly. I know this because I tested them before and after under load. If you want to have a mechanical mod you need to maintain it, simple as that. Mechanical mods are great if you understand them... you cant beat them for reliability. The down side is you have to clean them and apply noalox. For me its about every two months. For some, it could be less time or more.
The most important thing is keeping the positive battery contact clean. You need a small flat file or an emery board or even a piece of sand paper will work. Scuff up the point of the contact, put a drop of noalox on the very tip of the positive contact and your mod will run like its brand new.
You cant stop a mechanical mod it will run perfect for years and years if you just take the time to clean it properly. I hope people don't think I am going off on a rant. I am not. I am trying to help
Under running water! Doesn't moisture stay under the screwed on part that houses the switch?
I clean my contacts with some alcohol and a pencil eraser. That does the trick on the mechs.
Dries out quickly, I've never had a problem. Since you quoted an older instruction set. I'll remind people. do not file or emery board the new gold contacts only do that to old silver colored contacts.
so I did some more dumb ....... REOs still seems to not be hitting as hard as they used to (yes, I cleaned them) and so I read where you should scuff the contact....... then later read not to do that to the new gold ones. GAH. I think I did this like 3x to each! When will I stop doing dumb sht? I swear I'm losing my edge.
So, another question - since I am a masher. What size o-rings are you guys using on you buttons to prevent mashing? Also, where would I go to purchase just some o-rings?
