Any idea of the # of the O ring required?

The suggestion to jiggle guide rod while rotating worked perfectly. After the first time it became normal tension again.

Referring to a previous post, it was the O-ring which arrived sooner than I expected, not the takedown lever.

SIG sent me this "O-RING-1" when I ordered my takedown lever and O-ring:



I still haven't received the takedown lever itself. SIG CS said it would ship around December, SIG uses SmartPost which takes at least 10 days for delivery, and it is going to my address in Washington where it will then be forwarded here. I guess that the TDL will show up around Christmas!

I wasn't willing to pay 7.75 for an O ring from Numrich so I was trying to see if the big box hardware stores sold something appropriate.

I just checked, and SIG charged my credit card $4 for that O-ring and $16 for the TDL, shipping and taxes apparently included.

TGS has the O-ring in stock for $3.95, but the TDL is still out of stock: https://www.topgunsupply.com/g...%5Bcat%5D=150&page=1

I have found that with use it gets a little bit easier. Wiggling guide rod or just pushing it up sometimes helps, as does pulling the trigger slightly while rotating. Make sure that everything is well lubricated. Good luck

I have received my Gen 3 TDL but have not installed it yet. I will post photos when able, but the relevant news is that SIG is shipping them now.

It's a stock o-ring, you can Google to get the size (off the top of my head I think it's an 010) and save tons of $$.
