M249 Grip stability fix?

Had my A&K M249 out for a game for the first time on Saturday. It was running great until about an hour in when the grip loosened itself. For the next 7 hours I was spending 10 minutes every spawn tightening up the bolt inside the grip, only to have it come loose again after every spawn.

Does anyone have a fix for keeping the SAW grip nut and bolt tight throughout the course of a game?

Grip Nut? The grip is held on with two pins in the receiver.

Mine isn't....

There's a nut in the lower receiver, and a bolt in the grip. Every time the grip is held and wiggles a little bit, the bolt comes loose just a little bit more.

As TC said, loctite will solve your problem.

Got a pic? I have an A&K M249 and it has to push pins holding pistol grip on.
