Is it ever recommended to use loctite on threads of optic mounting equipment? My specific use would be for a RRA Dominator and EOTech built in mount. |
Since the Dominator is only held on by 2 screws at the back, loc-tite would be a good idea. If they loosen up, even a little bit, the front would have the potential to move more than the back of the mount. WIZZO |

I have personally seen ring mount screws, ACOG carry handle screws, buffer tube extensions, the nut holding KAC free-float rails, grip screws, ARMS#40 lock nut and more all work loose due to vibration from shooting. I use blue loctite on almost anything that has threads and mounts on a gun. |

not only do the "higher end products not stay tight in the case of the ARMS #40 the retaining nut can work loose and the BUIS will just wiggle a little until the nut falls on the ground. then the whole thing gets real loose and tries to fall apart. by that time the nut is GONE and a replacement nut is two weeks to a month away and costs $10.00 from ARMS. not picking on arms. they just came to mind. |
