Just curious you guys thread lock your buis?

I just got these new Troy sights, like them a lot but after a couple mags the back one popped off. I tightened it up and sure enough it popped off again. Was thinking about putting a little blue locktite on them.

Horse, funny you brought that up. I had that happen to me yesterday when juniour and I were bumping. We were laughing about it when the damn thing fell off, Even with a allen wrench.

Blue Loctite forever more!!!!!

Um, you should loktite everything you put on your rifle that has a threaded locking mechanism. Shooting your rifle is a very violent action that will loosen up anything that isn't cammed or loktited...
