I don't know every company's stance on it, but it's definitely not required for all brands. OP...as info, SS has the tubes in stock for $3 w/ free shipping. |

If anyone is generous and has an extra packet of Rockset, I'm interested in that also.

I think my gunsmith left town for the weekend. This sucks. Here I am sitting on the most clone-correct CQBR known to mankind and I can't go have fun with it over the holiday weekend.
You guys think I could just torque it down without a thread locker and not run a can on it over the weekend?  |

I got Rocksett on order, but want to shoot a new build... I'm using thread locker temporarily, I'll re-do it when the Rocksett gets here next week. |

I'm installing my FH556RC flash hider/suppressor mount and just discovered that the Rocksett that came with it is all dried up. I have 222MS (blue) and 262MS (red) Loctite on hand and was wondering if I could use it instead of Locktite? Note: This gun is a SBR and will be used with a suppressor. So, do I... A. Use Blue Loctite B. Use Red Loctite C. Order Rocksett Thanks! Why not order some Rocksett and do it correctly? Neither red, nor blue loctite are correct or effective for the job. |

Now you will have to remove all that crap from your threads, and it will be much harder to remove than if you had used Rocksett, as Rocksett doesn't take hardly any torque to break, but the threadlocker most certainly will. |

Sorry... Had to
I ordered a 2 or 3 ounce container of rocksett from Amazon for like 15 bucks I believe? That way I never run out. |
