Loc-tite and gas block
#24
We use Red or Blue Locktite on gas blocks. YES we have tested and found Locktite does help with accuracy. Has to do with Barrel harmonics or bolt unlock dwell times due to more consistent gas pressure. Either way we do it on all precision rifle builds. In over 8000 upper builds, we have not had one report of a set screw gas block coming loose. Why not when it costs so little and no negatives in doing it?

Just had a customer email me his group. 3 shots measuring .3 inches but done at 300 yards. Says it will do it every time he does his job. Tongue in cheek: It has the gas block Locktited!
