Okay... I want to take my EOtech off my primary...
1) I want to paint it 2) I want the thumb tightening screw to use on an old N cell EO I have on my Spikes 22 upper. How do I go about it? |

Which loctite? If it's purple or blue, then torque is all you need. That and a set of screwdriver bits that fit properly. If you're dumb like me, and use green to bed a gas block, then heat, torque, and prayer are in order. Red should loosen with torque, but might need heat as well. |

If it is a professionally installed unit then it's probably blue. But if not who knows??? ETA ... I made that mistake before. |
