Which loctite do you use when putting on a barrel nut?
People have told me different things from nothing to red. I was thinking blue but want to see what you all use. I'm putting on a new Troy trx extreme and want to do it correctly.
Thanks.
None. You use lube. Preferably a litihium grease.
burn the loctite
tm calls for moly grease.
high temp lithium wheel bearing grease is more readily available.
No Loctite on the barrel nut !
Moly (molybdenum disulfide) grease only.
clean the mating surfaces with mek and use loctite 603
j/k moly grease only

Fantastic! I'm really glad I asked! Thanks!
Depends on the manufacturer...

A muzzle device is a different type of application.
Barrel nut....
my bad.... YES LITHIUM GREASE....
I use AEROSHELL 33M
Grease. No loctite, bought a used upper and someone previous had used red loctite on the nut. We had to use a torch and strap wrench to get it off.
Barrel nut and loctite are not friends.
Muzzle devices sure.
Back (far) away from the loctite!!!.......Friends don't let friends use loctite on guns....<><....:)
