Ya know what I did, I swiped a bottle of clear fingernail polish from the "boss" and the slotted nuts are still there, works just as well if ya tighten them good the first time.

Blue label Loctite is what you're supposed to use.  Red is probably a little too permanent unless you use a very small amount of it.

Blue loctite is available at Home Depot.

I installed my ARMS SIR #45 without using the loctite that was included.  I didn't really see a need for it.  First off, do I need it?  If so, where do I need to put it?  The directions weren't too clear.

I placed some ?(see above) on all the threads for the slotted nuts which attach SIR to the flat-top, as they are the ones most likely to adios while shooting and not be noticed till your back home.

I wanted to add .... I had to loctite the screws for the yoke too.

One of my soldiers loosened them up with about 250+ rounds at our last M16 range.

Blue loosened for me. Had to use Red 271. It's removable without heat.

Yep, Blue in copious quanties on each bolt or a little Red 271. I lost one of my nuts on a long day of shooting. No, not my nuts, the slotted on on the ARMS. LOL!
