Hi guys!
i was just tightening the torx-style screws on a bm-42. But the problem is, they dont stay tight. Right now, i´m tightening the screws every day, so i guess this aint they way to go.

So, how about getting the screws out and put some loctite or something on? Is that a problem?? I heard something about benchmade "pressfitting" the screws in there, (whatever that means to a guy from europe). The thing is, i want to get the screws back in there again...

The female part of the pin is press fit with splines that dig into the titanium, but the male part will come out easily. Too easily in your case. A little dab of locktite (I suggest the blue) and you shouldn't have this problem anymore...
