    This. Locking compound is unnecessary if the bolt is tightened correctly, nor is it mentioned in any military manual I've ever seen.

      What force is necessary to insert a magazine into an AR?

        Snug with a star washer. Never had an issue. I think it’s called 1/4 ugga dugga

            For over 20 years now I have changed all my grip screws to hex and just snug tight. Hex is way easier to get started then slotted

              The lock washer is designed to do its job.
              Blue loctite cant hurt.

                  There's tight and there is farmer tight. In this case, tight is sufficient.

                    Hand tighten and then 1/8th to 1/4th turn works for me.
                    LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!

                    So in other words, turn it up to max then rip the knob off!!!!!!!!

                      I just crank it down until it feels "pretty good"
