Title: FFIII and mounting brackets
Post by: duckaholic25 on March 14, 2013, 09:47:27 PM
Should I put locktite on the mounting bracket screws when I attach the sight to it or are the countersink screws good with out it?

I put a little locktite on mine because you can not tighten the screws to tight if they are going into their mount because the mount is tapped aluminum and they strip easy. I stripped my first mount when mounting and the great folks at Burris sent me a new one free of charge even though I offered to pay for it. Very good customer service at Burris.

I typically use clear fingernail polish rather than loctite on those.  I loctite the screws that mount the base to the receiver however.
