I just put a YHM9394 flip up FS/gas block on a build Ive been working on, what concentration of Lock Tight should I use? I would like to be able to do mods later so I dont want to go to heavy. TIA

Blue loctite...if you want to be able to mod easily later
Red you have to heat to get it off.

Gas block will see plenty of heat, I say it will take at least the red locktight to stay put !

there is green for small dia. screws, i dont think heat will be an issue in semi-auto.

Rocksett claims it has the strength of blue, but handles heat.  I haven't used it - but am ordering a bottle to try out.

Hey, if you don't mind where did you find this stuff ?

locktight blue 242 removable it will shear off with hand tools but will keep the screws from rattling loose on their own from recoil etc.

I saw it on Amazon by searching "Rocksett" and here it is from the manufacturer, Flexbar.  I have never used it and can't find the statement now about being close to blue loctite in strength, but some reading showed it is often used on suppressors and some FH due to the heat.

FWIW, I've taken screws and flash hiders set with Rocksett and it took about the same amount of force as stuff set with blue Loctite. I use Rocksett on my SF suppressor mount and gas block clamp/set screws.
