nick779 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 What are you guys torquing your MOS adapter plates to and what thread locker? Best ive found is 15 inch pounds with either 243 or Vibratite from another forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_RAD Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Don't the instructions say hand tight? If you have new screws, they come with loctite on them. If I was re-installing a dot, I'd clean the old ones and use blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still though, hand tight means different things to different people. Im going to guess at 10-15 inch pounds I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWfront Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Anyone else have issues with the factory thread locker? My plate came loose this weekend and it didn't appear to bond to the slide very well despite me degreasing it before installation. I thought maybe I missed some so after cleaning it up I used a second set from a new package to give it another try. If they back out a second time I'll try Loctite 242.

I've only had one work lose. I didn't degrease any before installing. Just used the factory loctite. I suspect I didn't torque it down enough. Always worried about over torque when something calls for "hand tight". I've reinstalled it and have about 600 rnds on it now. I did degrease and reapplied loctite.

nick779 Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 FWIW I degreased, applied some 243 blue and torqued incrementally down to 15 inch pounds. Still solid and holding zero at 1400rds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
