[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 2220273, member: 4191"] Shouldn't be a problem. Try Purple first, perhaps? If it loosens, then use the Blue strength locktite. I've used both types, in that order. The Purple didn't hold a muzzle brake like I wanted on one of my rifles. This rifle only had about 6 or 7 threads engagement. I think with 10 or more threads engagement, the Purple would be strong enough to secure it. Especially for a simple thread protecting cap. Just clean and degrease the threads well beforehand.
