I had (lightly) lubed the FP threads with eezox, which I blamed for the issue. Who knows if that was accurate or not, but I have been leery of it since, and don't use it on anything internal to the rifle anymore. That was also right about the time that I decided that a pistol doesn't really weigh that much.
