[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1109369, member: 90399"] I appreciate your feedback. I've never considered Loctite to be glue. But it works well in scenarios where using a lock washer (or similar) isn't feasible. Saying that thread lockers are of no use 99.9% of the time I think is a little overboard. Most everything mechanical in the world that vibrates, jars back and forth, or moves in an aggressive manner has some kind of lock washer/lock device that keeps the bolts/screws from coming out. I guess I just don't see how firearms are different. However, I do agree that most of the time using high quality screws that are torqued in the correct sequence; you shouldn't [I]need [/I]Loctite. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
