BM 32 Spring Latch Problems
Hi I'm new.....
Now that we go that out of the way.....onto the topic. (I did a search on this and introduced myself for you forum nazis out there btw)
I just recently bought a BM 32 after reading and watching numerous reviews on the knife (I really wanted a BM42 or a CSAA). This one was in a store near my house for a decent price, so yeah.
After hearing all the woes about screws flying out and reading up on Bali Maintenance I used loctite on all the screws on the Bali, including the latch ones. I tried to find topics and/or videos on this specific Bali, but after about 30 min I gave up and decided to do it anyways. After 24 hours I tried to squeeze the handles (yes it was latched closed, not open, yes I know it doesn't spring when latched open) and the latch does not spring anymore basically making it a T-Latch.
Has anyone loctited their 32/51 and had this problem?
Is it an easy fix if so?
Any info and/or help would be greatly appreciated!
