[TenTec] Weighty problem.

[Duane A Calvin]

I had the same problem, and used the same solution - added a little
friction with the adjustable collar.  You could probably drill a little
material out from behind the finger hole (carefully) since it seems to be
the part that is slightly heavier (probably because the setscrew is
behind it).
