I've read a few threads that say the magazine on a Mossberg 500 is secured with lock-tite adhesive. 1. Why does a magazine that screws into place need lock-tite? 2. After removing the magazine for cleaning, does lock-tite need to be used when screwing it back on? 3. What could happen...

I have a Browning BSS (SxS) that has 3 holes drilled around each hole for the firing pin. Anyone know what the holes are for?
