Strider with loose thumb stud fix

[cotfish]

Hello All

I purchased a Strider AR with a loose thumb stud (the push thru Kind). Should I use a drop of lock tight to make sure it doesn't fall out? Any suggestions? this is a user not a safe queen

thank You

Yes, but use the sleeve bearing Loctite - I think it's the green stuff. It will work better than red, and much better than blue.

You could also use JB Weld.

Tear up a DD214 and wedge some of the paper from it in the gap.

While you certainly could do a do it your serf fix, I would send it in . On the Strider the thumb stud is part of the lockup( unless that has changed).

All the AR's I have seen, have the thumbstud well in front of the scales. It touches nothing.

This is only true for the liner lock models. The frame lock models use the thumb stud as part of the lockup like the SMF’s and other similar folders

Ah, you're right. I forgot that Strider did offer framelocks of the AR, long after the original AR/GB linerlocks.

Okay, now I gotta find my DD214's (I have several) for knife adjustments.

Google is your friend, although it won't mean much to you if you don't know the history of Mr. Mickey Burger.

Send it back to the Mother Ship for refurbishing...

Loose blade stop to go with the man's loose morals. I say send it back for a repair and sell that scumbag's knife when it returns. Buy something worth owning.

Im just asking about a loose thumb stud not a history of strider knives. I just want technical advise. Not a distraction.
