[QUOTE="biednick, post: 2553646, member: 123604"] On a bolt action it's probably fine. On a semi auto you can easily heat up a suppressor past the 250c/~475f it takes to release red loctite. It's going on a Ruger MPR, which is their AR clone. There's a definite possibility of it being heated up past 250c. Whether or not the threads will actually reach that temperature is a different question, but to me it makes more sense to use a compound that's designed to be highly heat resistant and not worry about it than use something that has the potential to fail. The only advantage to loctite I see in this use case is ease of application. [/QUOTE]
