>anon, you don't loctite your screws?
>why?
How do you respond? Why do you insist on putting things on your guns yet you won't loctite their screws?
>>30482319
But I do loctite my screws.
things that need loctite get loctite, things that don't, don't.
scope base screws get a dab of blue, thats about it. proper torque is usually more than enough to secure 95% of parts and accessories.
I have a torque screw driver.
I set all my scope ring screws to 30 pounds.

>>30482392
Aye she's also got a touch of bunny boiler about her.
Accurate pillar bedded weapons are torque set at known humidity and temperature OP.
However I have a hunch you are not into accurate gun.
Blue Loctite and a Fatman torque screwdriver are my friends

Straight up Autism OP, good job m8.
>>30482319
Maybe I don't want to keep that screw around. Maybe it isn't a long term screw because it asks too many questions.
Because it's not necessary
And you have autism if you think so, slut
>>30482319
Because I use RIVETS BITCH.
And the stock screws have been staked.

Fudds don't into torque
They're working on their cars all like AH I'LL JUST CRANK ON THAT SHIT TILL IT'S SNUG, GONNA BE FINE
t. Work at AutoZone

>How do you respond?
I would, dear. But someone confused the Loctite for blue nail polish and used it all up.
>>30482392
No, someone just get this bitch some facewash and get all that shit off her face in the first place. Makeup is disgusting, not only does it prevent you from being hygienic but who wants to have loads of chemicals and ingredients smeared all over their face?
If a bitch's skin isn't good enough, doesn't have to be perfect, to show without smearing shit all over it then said bitch needs to improve her diet and get some fucking exercise.
And why are you out of the kitchen?
>>30482319
Because people have been trying for decades to remove the Cosmoline from my glorious nugget, and have failed.
I trust it to hold in the screws.
The only screw on my rifle needs to be removed for cleaning
>>30483098
trust me, i know, i was a mechanic for 3 years.
>>30483098
My dad was an auto mechanic and he did this exact shit.
What's worse is that he was an engineer back in his home country. For that matter, every repair and maintenance done around the house was always some nigger-rig Mickey Mouse bullshit, none of it was actually proper.
>>30482347
This.
Fasteners are mostly designed to hold if proper torque is applied, with no loctite. Sometimes it's just the torque that matters, sometimes it's combination of materials that is at play (compare steel into steel vs. steel into aluminum), sometimes, TTY (torque-to-yield) fasteners are used (think engine cylinder heads).
If in doubt, RTFM. If TFM doesn't provide the torque (or loctite), you've chosen a shitty product (btw, I just gave you a nice telltale sign of a good product).
>>30482319
>things that need loctite get loctite, things that don't, don't.
This really. Putting loctite on things that don't need it is just a waste of time and money. I wouldn't have thought there were many things on a gun that actually require it. Certainly the only things we use it for at work (at a company that builds electromagnets for mri scanners and the like) are fixings that are subject to a lot of vibration, low torque applications or where there is a big difference in hardness between the two parts of the fixing, or fixings that fall in to the "everyone is going to die if this comes loose" category, but those tend to have locking wire too. Wouldn't have thought there was anything like that on a well designed gun. Disclaimer - the only firearm I've ever worked on was the SA80 (it was a ctually called that at the time) and that was only field stripping. As far as I can remember, that didn't involve screw threads at all.

30 ft lbs seems like a phenominal amount of torque to apply through a screwdriver.
bitch i loctite my buffer tube
>>30486366
You crazy bastard
>>30482349
>>30486361
I think he means inch pound
>>30482368
>not getting the 3/4 torque wrench out and winding them up to 300 ft pound
Its like you want your scope to fall off
>>30486366
I loctite my suppressor threads.

This is extremely common.
I do it too.
Even though I am a professional contractor that does high end remodels I still duct tape fix shit around the house because it dosen't fucking matter
Mechanics are the same way with their personal vehicles

You may then have a locksmith reproduce it.")
God I hate my job.
>>30482319
I built a 1911 without staking or loctiting the plunger tube/ejector.
