woodshed Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 How important do you think a thread sealer is on scope mounting hardware? Do you think a good torque is enough? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Depends on the gun I would guess. If you wanna use LOC TITE, use the 222, it is specifically made for smaller screws, up to 1/4" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Guess I look at it this way, I can not use it and hope the screws never work loose or I can use it and be somewhat more comfortable in feeling that they will likely not work loose. I use lock tite when mounting scopes, really do not see any reason not to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodshed Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 how hard is it to loosen the screws if you've used it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 how hard is it to loosen the screws if you've used it? The 222 is service removable, you won't have a problem at all. Anything else, and it could prove to be a royal pain to remove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
