[ARCHIVED THREAD] - reinstalling FIRSH

Posted: 11/2/2005 9:41:52 AM EDT

after doing some maintenance work on my rifle I am reinstalling the Oly Arms FIRSH 4 rail FF forend.

Do I need to use any Loc-tite on the barrel nut the FIRSH screws onto, and if so I am assuming Blue Loc Tite?

Or do I just need to bear down on that damn little bitty allen head screw til the FIRSH won't turn?

You could put a little on the barrel nut before installing the FIRSH. I don't see any harm aside from making disassembly slightly more difficult. On mine, I only put Loctite on the small screw underneath. I can never remember what kind of loctite I use.

Loctite on the side screws, and yes, use the blue stuff.

I didn't use any locktite on mine, and i've never had a problem...although it would be a good idea to put some on the screws.
