Remington R1 question, please? UPDATE...

It always seems to be the left one.  A little purple loctite 222 works wonders.

For what it's worth, I've found this product to be superior to Loc-Tite in many firearm applications. Grip screws being one of them. It still allows you to remove the screw with zero damage when you need to, but it will keep it in place when required. It is especially good on very small diameter, fine thread applications where it will prevent loosening, yet not allow the threads to be galled or damaged when removed.

Sounds like a touch of rubber cement might work.
I haven't decided which grip panels I will go with.
The grips that are there can be made pretty with a little burnishing, and the checkering on these is good (and needed without front/back strap checkering). I kinda want to find something in a very light, like grey marble looking color, to blend in under my shirt on a white t-Shirt background.
(Shoulder holster painted white with that flexible white craft fabric paint stuff. Used it for years now and it works well for what i need it to do. At a glance, you don't notice that I'm wearing a holster even without a cover shirt, with a Stainless gun in it.. Don't think less of me, guys. I have to be creative sometimes to get the job done. I know it sounds silly, but it works for me..)
Hogue makes a white"ish" checkered grip in aluminum. It's just not pretty and it's kinda pricy for my tight self..
Again, I know it sounds goofy but I've got a two button Crimson Trace on my Kimber that I may just paint white. I hate to put the stuff on it but it's harmless, and it's not like it really matters as long as it works.. As I think about it, that CT grip may help with that "very" short trigger on it too.
Hmmm.. Evolving ideas..
