agdev Offline Junior Member Posts: 36 Thank you received: 6	Anyone know how to lock the thin necks into position? I'm not seeing any set screws. The best I can think of is to screw the LED to the inside brass of the thin neck and loosen the neck until the LED sits tight against the housing. But that isn't exactly duel-ready Any ideas? Thanks!

When thin-neck sabers are assembled at the shop, Loc-Tite (I believe the Blue type, NOT the Red) is used to secure the emitter to the grenade section. That is the reason why Quick Connects are not offered. In fact, most times when folks have issues with thin-neck sabers, it is due to the Loc-Tite seal coming loose resulting in the emitter turning on its own during dueling. As for the LED inside the Grenade section, I am not sure if that is secured via threads, or a "C" ring. I understand it varies depending on the thin-neck model (Chosen vs. Prodigal Son, etc.).

Imagine what you will know tomorrow....

I don't believe Loc-Tite Blue is a permanent bond. Loc-Tite Red on the other hand...definitely permanent. However, the plumber's thread tape is not a bad idea either.
