Loctite for thread protectors

[doggie]

Which Loctite should I use to secure a thread protector, and how many drops?

[C.G.]

Blue Loctite 242, just enough to cover threads and not drip. If it doesn't come off easily due to too much Loctite, just heat it and it'll come loose. Do not use red Loctite that one can take a lot of heat to break free and it is meant for permanent installations.

Thanks for confirming what I thought.

If you're just "securing it," then use blue. If you need to make it permanent to claim a non-threaded barrel, I believe the consensus is that no Loctite will do.

You can hear it up pretty easily. Shoot a lot. but yes, blue.

It's for a Sub2K barrel, not for a pistol, so blue should do.
