Chillywig Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Last trip to the range I had an issue where my groups were all over the place. I was verifying zero for a 9mm major load I had been using successfully but just changed from a dillon die to lee U die. Dot felt tight and wasn't sure what was wrong. Upon returning home I noticed the 3 screws holding the mount were all loose but the 2 in the thumb rest stayed tight - so the mount appeared to be tight but if I really pushed it - it moved. All screws were blue loctited and torqued using a fat wrench about 1500 rounds ago. Just wondering if rocksett might be a better choice than the blue loctite? What about on the comp set screws?

teros135 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I use red Loctite on the mount screws, after cleaning and degreasing the screws and holes. The screw nearest to the grip still comes loose; I may try Loctite primer there (good idea, guys?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelix Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Red loctite in mount screws and blue on the thumb rest screws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) I go red on the mount screws too. Red on the comp set screws as well. If you have to remove them be sure to use heat. Trying to remove them without heat may well end in a stripped head. Edited May 25, 2017 by BeerBaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzt Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Red for the mount, but none for the thumb rest. A good torquing is all that is required. I've never had a rest come loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turned out it was cracked. I discovered the crack after the first day of the 2014 Nationals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
