That was one of the first thoughts I had and I know a previous owner had a fondness for teflon tape quick fixes. Fortunately the problem has now magically fixed itself before I got as far as taking it all apart again.

When the o-ring kits become available I'm gonna' do a complete tear down just to be sure I don't miss anything.

Thanks again

Having a problem here too -- I'm trying to tear it down and discovered that where the rear screw should be, the spring is in the way!

Basically so far I've removed the trigger guard (there was no bearing/spring in front of the trigger... guess a previous owner also tore it down and lost these parts? Hope they're not important.) and taken off the sight rail. Trying to figure out how to yank out the trigger and possibly get the spring out through the front but I'm stymied.

The bearing and spring just keep the safety from moving. Bearing is 1/8 IIRC and the spring is whatever fits. There is a set screw in the trigger that holds it to the rod. Remove set screw and convince the rod to come out.

Sounds good, I'll try that when I get home from work this morning.

I tried this before, guess it's a precision screw holding it in? Seems too small to be an allen head (tried it with my smallest keys, fishing in the dark as my girlfriend swapped the 80W bulb above my work table with a 40 so she could have a brighter writing desk. Women!)

I'll edit this post with more panicked "I THINK I BROKE IT HALP" rambling later.

No, it's a standard (not metric) allen.

Necroing a thread here, been gone a while.

Turns out I just didn't have the right size key. She tore down all right, though a bit stubborn as gunk built up over the years and fused a lot of parts together. After replacing everything else I have concluded it's something wrong in the regulator. Still has a slow leak and won't cycle.

Edit:

Tore it down again (it all came much, much easier this time thanks to me lubing everything) and was about to tear apart the reg when I noticed the rear screw had a LOT of play. Tightened it down till it felt like it was actually catching something. It almost cycles now, but the barrel sticks and there's a leak between the body and the frame, much like the OP's old issues.
