    Loctite....?

    Long story short - rifle drastically lost zero and when I was attempting to sight it in again; it wasn't shooting consistently.

    After half a dozen rounds I figured it wasn't me and something on the rifle was playing up. Sure enough, a screw has snapped of in the receiver and the scope had wasn't secured. The rifle is at a local engineers getting the broken screw removed - hopefully. If he can't do it without damaging the thread, off to the gunsmith the rifle goes. A little research shows the screws/bases to be a common issue with these rifles - barely tightened at factory and drowning in oil.

    Anyway...... what loctite product do people use/recommend when I reinstall the one piece base (Marlin XL7). Is this what I'm after - 'TL-242 Thread Locker & Sealant - MEDIUM Strength | Trade Me

    Anyone in the Manawatu/Wanganui region that could spare a few drops?

    Cheers,
    Jono
