I've heard of using blue loc-tite between the receiver and the scope mount base (in addition to the screw threads). Do you guys think this is helpful? Advisable? Thanks.
I'm now got another issue, before I even got to the Loc-Tite stage. I was going to mount the base, rings and scope temporarily, without using Loc-Tite or really tightening the mounting screws, but I stripped a torx screw head. Must have been really weak steel (this was a no-name mount set.) I've had some success at removing stripped screws, and tried my extractor -- to no avail. I drilled into the head and the extractor just sheared the screw off even with the top of the receiver (a Marlin 336). It seems like I've got two options:
1. Drive 30 miles to a gunsmith and get him to extract the screw.
2. Just use 3 screws. The base is a one-piece mount, and the sheared off screw is next to the back screw.
Seriously, if the screw you buggered up was that bad, how great are the other three?
To be honest, though, I'd probably drill the screw out myself. Or try to. And possibly screw up the threads, which would require drilling and tapping to the next size, which would require one odd-ball screw to mount any base at all, and there'd be clearance issues with the larger screw head. :banghead:
the best way to get a those screws out, they probably already had lock tite on them... find the appropriate screw driver, and tap the end with a hammer as you turn it the correct way to remove it... righty tighty, lefty loosy... if you didnt know.. and I would just use the lock tite on the screws, it is a real &^%* to get off in the event you ever decide to remove it. lock tite on the screws is plenty to keep a the base from shifting..
