I am looking for a few butt stock screws (both A1 and A2) that have the Loc-Tite stuff on the threads. Don't see any that look worth a shit, but there are plenty of the screws listed. Is there any place that sells the goop that you can apply to the screws? It doesn't appear to be quite like regular Loc-Tite.

Though not necessarily the same stuff it is more similar to something like vibra-tite that you apply and let dry before install. Brownells sells their branded stuff https://www.brownells.com/tools-cleaning/general-gunsmith-tools/adhesives-solder/shockvibration-resistant-thread-coating/

Palmetto has a A2 screw that the pic shows a patch but it does not list the screws finish. https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-a2-stock-screw-9349128.html

Thank you for the link. That description reads like what I am looking for. I bought several of the Palmetto screws, and while decently machined, they had no locking compound on them. I guess they will now! Thanks again.

There is a reason I said the pic shows a patch. I have not always received what was in a pic or description when I order stuff. Good luck.

I'm surprised you haven't seen this.

I saw it and actually replied in it, but I was looking more for the sticky stuff this time around. I appreciate it, though.
