I've had this gun for almost 20 years with no problem. For 10 years it was my main match rifle, so a lot of rounds went through it.

I got the screw out today with a punch. It was totally stripped. I don't know how. To my knowledge I've never had to touch the barrel band or band screw.

ordered a new band and screw from VTI gunparts.
