Norinco, you dirty...

The Loctite just goes on the bushing - NOT on the screw.

Ah, that makes sense. I was thinking we were talking about the screws that hold the grips on and I was wondering why someone would want to make such a small screw permanent.

I would use the stock bushings, but in case it didn't get mentioned in my OP, one of them has the grip screw frozen in it- I can't see how to get the screw out of the bushing without destroying it. Figured new bushing would be the easier, cleaner way to solve the problem and leave the stock bushings with the stock grips.

yes, your right, plus the norc fasteners aren't that great anyways. Most of the bushing replacement kits come with screws so your covered there. As pointed out above, loctite the bushing to the frame NOT the screw to the bushing, or your right back where you started LOL
