I grabbed an Aimpoint Comp M3 with a Larue LT-150.

Do you guys use loctite on the mount screws? How tight should the screws be?

Thanks

Yes, use the blue loctite. Tighten the bottom screws first, then the top. Good and hand tight is all that is needed.

Thank you sir!

Is the blue stuff the kind you can break loose by heating it up?

La Rue sends you some loctite, its in the package for a reason, loctite that baby down and you are ready to go assuming you have a BUIS already locked down.

Yup, the blue is the lesser strength stuff. I won't touch the red with Al anymore, I wound up stripping threads out of an engine block with that stuff. That was expensive.
