AJ Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Re: Glue for base and scope rings Rubbing alcohol will leave a residue that can interfere with the adhesion. I used MEK methylethylketone in the past but its harder to get nowdays. Acetone will work just fine, is cheap, and easily available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Re: Glue for base and scope rings It might, although I can not say I have had that side effect. I use the stuff to degrease and clean the trigger mechanisims and when I ream chambers to get rid of the cutting oil and chips. I don't know that I would spray down the outside of a gun with it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
