I know the consensus is that locktight goes on the BUIS, but what about on my ACOG/EOtech? Should I use locktight on those as well? Also, where does one get locktight? Lowes? Home Depot? Thanks for ya'lls help.

Not the ACOG- Put it on the EO tech. (use something weak like low or medium strength loctite- something that doesn't need to be heated to dissassemble.) Every screw (including ACOG base to houseing if you are changing one out) that goes on a rifle needs loctite. That doesn't include [obviously] the barrel nut, or the pistol grip screw, but some guys like to do stock nuts in absence of peening them on. I haven't done the peen or loctite yet and haven't had one come loose (I just torque it heavilly; like 30+ft lbs.) Ace hardware, advanced auto parts, NAPA, etc. Those guys should carry loctite. Sometimes Walmart, and sears tool centers |

I do not think you should loctite anything that may need to come off in a pinch (ie Eothingie) - unless you are loctiting to a larue mount. There should be no need - the eotech will stay tight if mounted correctly. I am using the RRA Dominator and loctited it. My eo is dry to my Dominator. As far as the BUIS - I always blue loctite. |
