Title: AR10A4 handle/Front sights need locktight?
Post by: HUCKLEBUCK on June 22, 2013, 05:32:57 PM

hi
i just got armalites carry handle and front sight to mount on the flat top picatinnys on the upper and  clamp on gas block.

1) i screwed them by hand pretty tight, but do i need to use lock tight on the thumb/flathead screws to stop them from loosening especially when firing?

2) if so, is there a type of locktight that would work best with the front sight since it the screws may heat up quite a bit?

thanks!

Yes I'd use Loctite.  Just don't use the permanent one.

I would Would make it tighter than hand tight weather it be with a screw driver or wrench before I would put lock tight on it. Then if it still comes loose use the Blue loctite.
