How about regular old blue loctite? Clean everything up good first. Don't think I'd be going red unless you never plan on removing shit

I'd take my time removing any oil or old loctite and reapply with blue loctite. If that don't do it I'm sure the red stuff will do it but is much harder to remove and involves heat.

I would try Vibra-Tite VC3. Ever get a grip screw or other accessory that has threadlocker preapplied to the fasterners? Its basically the same stuff. I havent used it in your particular application but it has worked well for anything else I've used it for. Worth a shot.

Never used this one myself 450 degrees F: https://www.amazon.com/LOC26773-Loctite-High-Strength-High-Temp-Threadlocker/dp/B005P3KVSI/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_263_tr_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=S265363933J0MG0006V0
650 degrees F: https://www.amazon.com/Loctite-1134601-Tensile-Strength-Temperature/dp/B004RIDDP0 Otherwise you need Rockset. 2000 degrees F: https://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-tools-supplies/general-gunsmith-tools/thread-locking-liquids/rocksett-prod54624.aspx |

The question is, did you thoroughly de-grease all the threads? Did you use enough thread locker? I can tell you from experience that red Locktite WILL keep an FAL flash hider from unscrewing. Side question, how do you get the barrel out for cleaning if the comp is "permanently" attached?

Blue loc tite should be enough, it's good for some decent temps. No matter what you use make sure the threads are clean. I would use a tap to clean the threads. I would also use a primer, it's amazing how much primer helps.

As others have said make sure everything is degreased before applying Loctite.
If that doesn't hold. Rocksett is the next step. |

Kind of lost track of this "thread" ha-ha. The red loctite along with taking a copper brush and dental tool to the threads has worked great, haven't had any issues. I also got some Rocksett and used it recently on installing an AAC 51T attachment. Thanks everyone for the help.

rocksett is the industry standard for suppressors, which retain heat and get hotter much faster than a compensator. rocksett is water soluble. if you ever need to remove it, simply dunk it in water for 15 minutes and it dissolves completely, allowing easy removal for cleaning.
