Loctite will not hold it properly. It'll need to be either soldered, or cross pinned to hold properly, and considering it's a 410, cross pinning will be out of the question due to thinness of the barrel at the muzzle....

Yup, it does. Loctite might be OK along with that then....as long as it is a good friction fit on the barrel....
15 years ago I made a front post site for my 1300 20 gauge...it's machined about .003 tight, warmed up and stuck on...hasn't moved yet.
If it's a slip on fit now I'd just solder it with plain old plumbing solder...if you can solder copper pipes you can solder that sight on.

It is a tight fit. was lightly hammered in place.
Will Plumber solder stick to gun steel ? will it need special Flux or just regular ?
Any of the stud and bearing retainers would work a treat for this. There are formulations that will fill up to more than several thou gaps, and still make a permanent assembly, safe and secure enough to use inside engines.
Clean the parts and have at. Slather a little on, and slide the parts in place. Wipe off all the excess while it is wet, and easy to wipe up.
If you have had Locktite give way, you used the wrong stuff.
The retaining compounds require a lot of heat (torch) to get them to release when used as directed.
