I am trying to “harden” all the points on my rifle (bored). I have a snazzy fixed loop from blueforce. I really, really like the fact that it uses a flathead screw rather than a stupid allen head.

Obviously this applies to any rail bolt on.

As has already been said, blue Loctite. For the same reasons. Add a little strip of paint or marker as an index point to know if it is moving and rock on. If it loosens you’ll know because the line won’t lone up, and can take appropriate action from there.
