Glock 18 fire selector falls out when on fall auto.

War Machine 539

I have a glock 18, and when I fire it on full auto the fire selector comes loose. I always check the tiny hex screw under the rear sights is in snugly yet this still happens, also checked that the ball bearing is there, its a problem I have had since I bought it, but usually at the end of a long days skirmishing, Now Im worried as at my last skirmish, halfway through my first mag it happened. Anyone else had this problem?

Is it the KWA/KSC model?
Apparently if you threadlock the no18 screw (underneath the rear of the slide) this will resolve the issue...
no idea how to do it as I'm not familiar with threadlocking but I'm sure there's loads of ppl on here who know how to do it..

joe stodge

do you change the selector from semi to safe to full auto with out pulling the slide back??

War Machine 539

No I always pull the slide back! I heard the threadlock thing too, but have no Idea where to get it! Any ideas?

joe stodge

you can use clear nail varnish just paint it onto the screw before you put it back in.

Right what about if I need to take it back out?

joe stodge

it'll come back out it wont just slip out on its own.

Joe I don't wanna know why you have clear nail varnish :rolleyes:

Assuming you're not a transvestite, and thus have no access to nail varnish, any halfway decent diy shop will have threadlock, just apply it to the threads on the screw and reassemble it

I will try this! Thank you all! Will report how it goes!
