Hey,this is just a heads up to all of the versamax owners out there.First I love this gun.Bought it and didn't have time to pattern or anything,a quick cleaning ,assembled and started shooting pheasant with it.POA seems to be dead on(bad pun). Now on to the title of this post.Well after reading a post from Orion about how his mid bead fell out,I decided just now to check mine and it just unscrewed with my fingers!!Then I decided to check the front bead and it too literally fell out!!!I have no doubt that sooner or later they would have fallen out in the woods.Not to worry.A drop of red loctite(thread locking compound)and they will never unscrew themselves....ever.Just thought I would share this info with everyone

Loctite works...thanks for the heads up !!
