I am currently waiting for my BCM stainless barrel and Vltor stainless clamp-on gas block to arrive, but I'm worried about how to install the gas block. I know the common answer is to red Loctite the screws, but If I ever have to remove the block, I'm worried applying the heat necessary will discolor both the barrel and gas block. So I have two questions that you guys can answer to help me:
1. Will a butane soldering iorn be able to apply sufficient heat to losen the red threadlocker on the clamp screws to remove them? I theorize this will prevent the gas block and barrel from discoloring because it will apply heat in a very specific location.
2. Would it be a good idea to use different bolts that allow me to saftey wire the two bolts eliminating the possibility of losening? If I were to saftery wire them, I would not use any Loctite. I like this idea better than the using red Loctite, but has anyone ever done anything like this on a firearm before?
Thanks
