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.

By arbor press, you mean the gravity mounted tactical hat rack?
You reallly need to knock it up to an even 70 in/lbs, Dave.
Did you just answer the question you posted?

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.

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

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.
I have been mounting scopes for 45 years using blue Loctite.
Should Loctite be used when mounting a rifle scope?
