Anecdotally, my son and I went to the range today with a Ruger .22.  I had previously had the barrel drilled for a rail so I could mount a red dot sight.  

I spent a few magazines sighting the thing in only to find out the rail was losening from the barrel as it heated up.  This is with the blue loctite.

Guess I'll try the red next.... :oops:

And shove some of these in too. No SS or copperslip mind  :shock:


 :lol:  

Just how rapidly and many shots are you firing off? Locktite blue softens at 400 F

All three mounting screws were loose.  :?

Not sure how hot the barrel was, but the trigger was warm.

What temp does the red unglue?

700 is too high.  I want to be able to pull the rail off the barrel and go with the iron sights once in a while.

are we talking rifle or pistol ? the rail that came with my Ruger 22/45 pistol lets me leave it on permanently and still use the iron sights .
I had to go to Loctite red ...nothing else would hold the screws in .

I'd get advice from a gunsmith tbh. Taking advice from me / on a motorcycle site is liable to get you into all sorts of trouble when you plug the neighbours cat by accident cos the sights came loose.

EDIT: I see Mustang just answered you. You know he's always right 'bout things. so I'll just bow out, ....

Gonna give the red a try. :lol:

Same pistol only with tapered barrel and short sights.  The rail effectively blocks the rear sight.

Now back on topic. :oops:
