Larrykay Welcome to the forum. What would you have the rep do, send you a mailing tag for you to ship it back. Gone for 2-3 weeks for them to just screw the screw in? There was no damage done at all and the gun probably will shoot fine. You are actually lucky as many posters cannot get the screws out at all. Put a no.61 o-ring on it when you re-install the screw in the gun and it will stay locked up until you take it out to clean it.
