Do you guys use blue loctite or anything similar when installing accessories like light mounts & sights that uses screws? I don't plan on going rambo on a mound of dirt, but I'd like to know that my gadgets are staying put.

Sometimes if it's going to stay put for a while; sights, flashlight mounts, sling mounts, etc.  I don't use red on anything though.

No RED or you will need a torch to remove it 400 degrees to break the bond. Never Never use RED.

I use blue Loctite on threaded parts that aren't going to be staked and red Loctite on set screw gas blocks.
