Its not exactly something I plan on removing that often, but was wondering if most of you just screw it on tight- or use a drop of blue 242 on the screw.  

Thanks for your input.  

>> Additional question <<
What about those of you with SIR's and RAS-II's, Loctite or not?

Screws on my ARMS 22M68 loosened after a few hundred rounds.  Now I use blue Loctite on my all my ARMS products.  Works like a charm and it's easy to remove when necessary.

Dumb question: Do you have to mount the #40 BEFORE installing the rail system (I have a #50), or after?

You might as well have welded your #40 to the receiver.

Comes off with a screwdriver - no problems. It's the only grade that doesn't vibrate off. YMMV.

edited to add: There are different grades of red. 271 was the only "high strength" threadlocker, according to LocTite's product info, that's not permanent and doesn't require heat for removal.
