Use loctite on screws to install TROY M4 rail?

[15567]

I am wondering whether it would be advisable to use loctite (and if so which one/colour) on the four screws for the Troy drop in 7" rail?

Also, which is the recommended placement on the rail for a vertical grip?

a dab of blue will be fine ( i also mark my screws with a marker to see if they move)

X2 for the blue loctite. 200 rnds and not a hint of movement.

I would not used red, it is a high temp high strength product if you ever had to take it off it would be near impossible. The green should work fine, I've used blue in the past without a problem.

Thanks. I will get some blue Loctite and mark the screws.

Which position on the Troy did you guys mount the vertical foregrip?

Ummm No, green is sleeve lock. You would need a torch to remove it. Purple is best for 1/4' and smaller bolts, blue is slightly stronger so it would be fine.

It depends on your shooting style and your light setup.
