101st Poptart Assault BSB
Something I never took into account and it is looking more likely like I should have is this:
Thread locker (loc-tite) brand has an expiration date! I have some blue and some red loc-tite. I picked both up some time ago and installed the top rail on my 22/45 because they kept coming loose. After my first outing I figured it would be a good idea to loc-tite them after they shook loose again. To my surprise they still came loose after loc-titing.
I putzed around with them being sure to meticulously clean the thread inside and out before I re-applied the thread locker and I found a dab of red loc-tite on the sight rail. It was still wet.....
Put a drop of each type on the top of a coffee cup on my desk.... 24 hours later its still goopey. I guess thread locker does indeed go bad. Who'da thunk ?!
