[QUOTE="biednick, post: 2553167, member: 123604"] Rocksetting the muzzle device to the barrel works well if you follow Rocksett's application guide. Apply a thin coat to both surfaces, let dry for a day, apply another thin coat, assemble. You'll get a bind slightly stronger than blue loctite. A few drops does next to nothing. Surefire reccomends a thin coat on each then assemble, but that results in relatively weak bond that's weaker than blue loctite. Red loctite isn't permanent, and heat is one of the common methods to get it to release. I haven't tried it on a muzzle device, but securing a part that's going to heat up quickly as the gun is fired with a compound that releases when heated has always seemed like a bad idea to me.
