    Best thread locker for set screws on the gas block.

    Folks,


    Just finished my first build, I have a micro-gas block with 2 set screws at the bottom. The rear screw is in the dimple, and I snugged the screws down, do I need some kind of high temp thread locker to keep them in place? A2

      I personally Red Loc-tite the gas block to the journal, and don't apply much torque, if any, to the set screws other than to seat them fully, with on in a dimple to prevent the block from moving.

      Rocksett would be better for a high volume gun that is seeing extensive fire, if you don't pin the gas block.
