AR Front Sight Base epoxy?

[s30]

I have a Bushmaster front sight/gas block that was secured with out taper pins (it doesnt even have the provisions for taper pins) with some sort of epoxy. I was curious what type of epoxy and where could I purchase it online or locally?

I dont know what bushmaster uses, but folks use green locktite.

Really? Isnt green locktite a bit thin?

The tolerances on the barrel-to-bas block are very tight. The green loctite should work, but make sure it sets up before you shoot it.

Will do!

I think the "official" designation is Loctite 290. It goes on after everything is assembled. My front sight base came with set screws, I installed it and zeroed at the range, tightened the set screws and applied the Loctite. Voila!
