[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 2010697, member: 38048"] I've used the loctite thread sealer on my threads before. I tried some experiments with it to try and get more accuracy during long strings. I used it with just hand tight barrel and let it set up and it shot the same. Tried different amounts of torque with it and really found no benefit to using it. Now if you had a sloppy fit on the tennon I think it would help. Maybe. I haven't tried. I got the idea from guys building match grade ARs using thread sealant on the tennon to reduce play. Big difference is the AR tennon isn't threaded so a perfect fit helps. On a threaded shank once tightened up it will self center and stay there. Real good write up in one of the old Precision Shooting magazines about this. I haven't used the sealant on another rifle since. I do the test and if it's better I keep doing it. If it does nothing I'm not going to do it. A negative result just speaks for itself. Most of the stuff I do regarding accuacy is from doing the work and quantifying the results. Even when world record holders tell me things to try or how they do it. I just do it and look at the results. Basically 3 results can happen. The Good, the Bad and the Indifferent. Sorry Clint.😄 Shep [/QUOTE]
