Should loctite be used with a muzzle break, or is it something that should be removed from the rifle prior to cleaning? Then clean the break by itself and reattach? This is for a CZ858..
 
I don't own a CZ but I remove my rifle muzzle brake(it was factory installed, no thread sealer) and clean the brake via soaking and clean the barrel crown.

There will be a lot of carbon deposit and I don't know any other method to clean the crown.
I then either put the thread protector on or re install the brake without any thread sealer.

My brake is timed by using a factory washer. YMMV
 
I have the NEA heavy break, and it threads all the way down but won't complete the last turn to let the locking pin engage the cut out in it. Only way to allow this is to turn it back but then it is somewhat loose. I could install a washer to fill up the gap, but was curious about using loctite instead.

Looks like washer is the best bet.
 
You dont need anything for the brake, just screw it on and if the little bit of play annoys you then put a washer on. I dont have any washer on any of mine and they all function 100% ALL OF THE TIME.

I would highly suggest that you DO NOT use any thread locker. If you are shooting corrosive ammo then you want to be able to clean the brake, threads and muzzle. Just screw it on and go out and shoot it.
 
Thanks, wasn't sure if the " play " would have a negative effect on shooting. I'll try it the way it is. If it bugs me that much I'll put a washer on.

NO LOCTITE ON MUZZLE THREADS!
Now that idea is out of your head and hopefully the fumes are 2. People have used everything from gas fitting teflon tape to spark plug gasket's but it is mostly up to you on what you would like to do. Including stoning it tell it lines up nice and tight plus properly indexed.
Also after some rounds down range the carbon not only starts to build up in ones brake but also on the crown. So that is a good idea from time to time to give it a good scrub clean & put it all back together.
Just my personal point of view ;)
