Octane 9HD, USP9c and P30 13.5x1 LH
Would it be a bad idea to drill and tap the piston for a set screw? Can breaks loose after about 5 rounds no matter how hard I turn it. Thread tape works for about 10 rounds. With the LH thread, my theory is that the gas imparts a spin equal and opposite the rifling that loosens the can. Barrel is traditional rifled RCM with RH twist. I typically shoot at extended distances (50-100yds) and find that if the can simply breaks loose, it changes POI by 5-10 feet. Needing an allen wrench to remove the can is not ideal, but neither is POI shift and end cap strikes. The combo is extremely accurate as long as I work the piston before the first shot. Doing the D/T work would be a simple process for me. Thoughts, suggestions?
