Loctite

[Request Dust Off]

If you didn't degrease them first it probably was a waste of time. How is the hat attached to the arbor press? I can't find anything on any mfgrs website. Is it just gravity?

Small screws to mount base to action, yes. Small screws to attach top ring to bottom ring, yes. Larger bolts that hold rings to base, no. Torque to 68 inch/pounds and it should be good. This is for my application, your results may vary. And the blue Loctite.

Did you just answer the question you posted?

By arbor press, you mean the gravity mounted tactical hat rack?

It's attached to the bench with blue loctite, torqued to 68 inch pounds.

You reallly need to knock it up to an even 70 in/lbs, Dave.

I'm just using Barry's 45 year proven recommendation.

Yes I did. I had a gunsmith tell me that Loctitie was not needed on a scope that he just mounted for me. I have been using Loctite for years. I was wondering if I had been doing it wrong. I asked here, a few other people in person, and customer service for the scope and mount manufacturer. Came up with my answer.

It is the silver metal object with the rack and pinion thing that goes up. I think the thing that goes up makes it tactical.

If you know better than the gunsmith, why didn't you do it yourself?

It holds my hat. That's what makes it tactical. Idk what it's supposed to do.

I was going to suggest that he go to 72 inch pounds or just use 6 foot pounds.

Problem is one of y'all would call on it being 5.9999997861144 foot pounds and not an even 6.

BarryJ made no claims or had any questions on anything related to vice mounting.

Sale @ harbor Freight?

Nevermind. I was gonna ask Dave a question, but that's what he wants. He wants to drag me down to his level. Goodnight.

BarryJ,
If you don't post on forums you can't have a problem. That is why so many people I meet from here quit posting.

I know I have either not responded or started to respond and decided to delete certain things.

Why let one pompous ass ruin it for everybody? I ask one simple question and he acts like I'm stupid. This isn't the first time he has shown his ass and probably won't be the last.

Just ignore him completely and/or add him to your ignore list.


There's one on every gun forum I've been on.

You asked a question you already knew your answer to. If you don't want to read my opinion, don't post in an open discussion forum.

That is why not posting does not work for me.

Where I disagree with you and dk.easterly is both of you keep saying 'one'. I keep hoping Dave M. is actually a really good dude that is just misunderstood. This can't be just about the loctite. I am not getting what the damage is on that. The only way we can judge members here is by what the type on the keyboard.

Where I do agree is that BS.com will only exist by having good members posting.

Even the most civil forums I am on are not perfect. There are usually those that are extreme on both sides of an issue. Opinions vary. Rules are not always followed or enforced with 100% consistency. Same for forums that are less civil. A lot of guys complain but don't report to the mods. For example if a spammer come on they type a response instead of reporting to a mod.

This can't be just about the loctite.

Loctite just happened to be the subject. It's about Dave talking down to people and calling them names if they don't agree with him. I never met Dave and the only contact I have had with him are posts on this site. I hope he is misunderstood, but until I see a change, I will not respond to any of his posts and I wish he would do the same.

If I don't agree with them? LOL you're butt hurt and you know it.

I said you can use blue, purple, whatever the manufacturer recommends, or nothing at all. Seems like I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with anything other than how you came in and blasted anyone's opinion because...

I have been mounting scopes for 45 years using blue Loctite.

So GTFO with your whining, especially since you originally asked this...

Should Loctite be used when mounting a rifle scope?

Barry, don't be discouraged by one sick puppy. Enjoy the peace......for now.
