    New 686+ mainspring came loose. Strain screw tight

    WTH?

    New 686+ with under 1k rounds. Got pretty gummed up with lead to the point of it barely working recently. (Cleaned after every trip out)

    I clean it up, apply a tiny amount of grease to moving parts, dry fire about ten times before loading and putting into service....and it stops working.

    Mainspring had popped out.

    Checked strain screw, which I'd loc-tited. It was tight. Loosened it to get spring back in place. Seems fine now.

    What the hell happened? I don't trust it now. Spring & screw are factory. I've had zero light strikes.
