When mounting bases on the top of your gun, do you guys use loc-tite and if you do, which color. I am going pull the mounting screws on the top of my rifle and mount the Weaver #12 blocks to it. If I ever want to remove them and go with irons, than I have to choose how much loc-tite to use and whether red or blue.

I never have my scope plates haven't come loose ever. If its for a really heavy caliber and your worried it might come loose use a little drop of blue. Red loc-tite takes a torch to come back off its meant for permanent attachment.

Blue loctite for the base. Nothing on the rings. That's how I roll.

cheap pink nail polish. best non-permanent thread locker on the market.

I've heard clear nail polish a lot but first time for pink.

Probably so you can tell how much you put on the threads and where. :dunno:

Ive used blue Loctite and black nail polish the wife was out of clear :chuckle:.

I used the pink nail polish for the first time when I was setting the trigger nuts on my .30-'06. Worked so good now I use for all my thread locking needs. Latest use was on a bicycle baggage rack.
