If it is blue, then it isn't permanent. Just put a drop on the thread, and screw it on.
The light blue colored loctite will still come off, but will hold it in place until you decide to remove it. The buis will be secure without it, but could come loose after shooting a high number of rounds, because of the vibration caused by the recoil. Better safe than sorry |

Mine too!
All those mounts with that kind of nut come with a tube. They come loose all the time without it. It would suck to loose that thingy. |

IIRC as long as it is not red heat will not need to be applied to remove.

If it says A.R.M.S. on it, anywhere, and its not a carboard box, you'll need lots and lots of loctite.

+1 in my experience. ETA: I actually use red on fasteners that small.  It's very little surface area, and I've had blue come loose on me. Red never takes more than normal torque with the ARMS nut remover to unscrew.

Loctite 222, or PURPLE Loctite as many of you like to call it, is designed for small fasteners and is removable. We use this at work in extremely high vibration and high heat applications without issue. These applications are more severe than 99.99% of the rifles out there will ever see.
I also use Loctite 242, or BLUE Loctite, extensively on my personal rifles without issue. One common theme I've detected in unsuccessful Loctite use is not shaking the product thoroughly before applying it - it does separate if left unused for a long time. Additionally, the threads have to be cleaned and degreased. Doing both of these has given me a near 100% success rate using Loctite, no matter what number or color I am using. YMMV. |

It can remove with no problem. If you would like you can heat it up with a torch to melt the Loctite and it will come off easer. I would recommend using it!

LaRueisshipping "Blue Lok-Tite" with their mounts as well. At least they did for my SF962C and EOTech mounts.
Use it. If it wasn't necessary it wouldn't be in the package. Tack |

The package says "222MS" so I figure it's the "purple" stuff.
Okay, so the consensus is use it. Good deal. So I do this: 1)Shake it. 2)Clean the threads on the screw So, I put the Loctite on the threads then? Where exactly? Just don't want to screw it up. |

Put a small amount on the external threads and thread everything together. Tighten everything up and ideally let is set for a day. |

yep just put it where the screw threads and the threads on the nut would mate when installed |

Screws SHOULD have loc-tite on them, AND they should be marked with paint so rotation can be noted.

Get a paint marker and put witness marks on all of your screws.
