Which type of Loctite would you reccommend?

Post by Ridgerunner »

I am changing out the forearm assembly on my AR to a MagPul. I would like to use Loctite to secure the screws holding the assembly together. I think the Blue 242 would be best, however I am open to suggestions or verification from anyone. The web-site has a notice against using with thermoplastics and I am not knowledgeable enough with Loctite to know if this would present a problem in this case. Thanks

If the screws mount in the plastic, I would not use Loctite. Glues like that dissolve some plastics.

What does Magpul recommend?
