BobAsh 582 Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 You could braze it, but personally I recommend green loctite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bugeye 2 Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Green Locktite = easy to back out screws Blue Locktite = much harder to break the screw loose and back it out Red Locktite = permanate installation, very difficult to back a screw back out again, maybe it wont come out without damage Use the correct locktite or you willbe sorry! A little goes a long way! Black Locktite = dont know anything about it............. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bugeye 2 Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 You are right Bob, the green is the tough shit. I think I got it correct now........ Like I said, use the correct Locktite or you may be sorry! As I screw things up often, I always use the BULE Locktight so I can remove the screw again and then do the job right the second time! The blue is actually pretty tough, it has never let me down. Blue Locktite = hard to break the screw loose and back it out Red Locktite = permanate installation, very difficult to back a screw back out again. Green Locktite = almost impossable to remove Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 I use Purple #222MS. It is low strength for use with 10-32 screws and smaller. It will hold the brake just fine, but you can still get it off fairly easy. If you use any other loctite, you're going to have a hell of time getting it back off with those super fine threads on such large diameter material. That's a lot of surface area you're locking up.

Juggernaut 11,054 Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 I needed the extra length on my shotty to be legal in Michigan. Standard conversion comes in at 29 in. folded, I needed 30 in. to be legal here. That's why I opted for the red. It would not be legal unless it is permanently attached.

Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 I thought it had to be at least silver soldered on to be considered permanent? Why anyone would give up their options to use multiple muzzle attachments is beyond me. A couple of drops of blue should be sufficient. I was lucky with mine on my stock unmodded IZ-109 and it indexed almost perfect whe tightened all the way down. If the law in Mich. won't let you have a shottie shorter than 30" folded I would suggest using the Ace external block with your folder. Yet another plus for that part. Mine is 30 1/8" from the back of the Ace external block to the tip of the threaded muzzle. Of course if you already have no tang that's too bad. I know popular opinion is that the external block looks gawdy or whatever but it does allow the stock to sit at the correct angle (not jacked up in the back like it was run over by a truck) and it also allows better access to the sidrail. Tromix uses a special custom made rear block that corrects the angle prob but without it the guns look funky with the internal block IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
