The fact that you put this out shows your honesty and integrity. Appreciate it, grabbing some locktite now.

lol we keep the bolts loose so guys can upgrade mounts and so on, good thing you caught it at the range. Next time use a hammer😂-Dimitri

I Loctite everything... Theres optic companies who claim you dont have to Loctite the scope rings but that's BS I've have rings loosen up even if they're torqued to spec... I think just about all shooters has had this happen at some point... Great video as always keepem coming brother!!!

Thanks for a great video. When I got my first scope in 1964 for my Sako .270, my Dad told me to use Gasket Goo on the scope mounts and screws. It worked well, but when I became aware of Loctite a few years later, I used it. Still do to this day....

I’ve had the same thing happen to me using my Glock 45 MOS with the OEM plate. I was practicing for an upcoming match and shot about 200-250 rounds in about an hour. Noticed at the end that my POI shifted and at first chalked it up to the barrel being hot. That’s when I noticed the exact same thing, the MOS screws backed out 3/4 turn on both sides.

Have allot of PA prisms & the same optic you got on the way😎. I personally have never put locktite on the mounting screws but always make sure it’s pushed forward and pretty damn tight and never had them come loose. May or may not take your advice😜

VERY interesting! True,I’ve got several PSA guns and these soldier types at the range said they don’t touch PSA. I did t get it because I’ve never had a problem with mine, but I also never have had my barrel literally smoking like they did that night. But yeah, I’ve got some low tight but I’ve never used it. I think I will do I just put it on the screws as they are or do I have to back them off and remount? I’m assuming I just put it on as it is….

Will you make a video about the incident you briefly mentioned? I'm in Portland and this kind of thing, as you well know, is all too common. I'm curious to hear about it.

I have a phrase of loctite the world. Every time I don't something comes loose.

Now you know why I locktight everything, and carry it everywhere. I run out of it a lot. Nice Vid.

I have a Older sporterized K98 in 308 (i bought it that way) Until i used red loctight on the bases and blue on the rings it would come loose ever 50-75 rds. I have a 340WBY Mag and it has knocked the Tally one piece rings loose on more than one occasion - but she is a bit recoil happy

Everything comes loose, if you use it enough... Good Job Ryan.

Interesting that you had that issue. I know some mount manufacturers don't want Loctite because of the way it effects torque readings. "Wet torque" versus "dry torque" maybe it was just a mount failure?

Good info 👍

I learned this lesson many years ago. Every screw gets loctite. Some more than others.

Can't wait for those results about that point of shift for that faxon pencil barrel tho! When's that coming out?

a barrel becomes longer as it gets hotter but it extends straight as long as there is nothing holding both ends. for this reason a full floating barrel only holds one end and let's the other freely expand. only if you over heat the barrel to the extent that it melts will it bend. otherwise it should remain completely straight. a pencil barrel cools faster than a thicker barrel. If you would like to cool it even faster, JP Enterprises sells what they call thermal dissipators. check them out.

What’s the weight difference between the KP15 as opposed to a regular lower with adjustable stock?

what red dot and stagger mount is that ?

2 questions: Why is the limited eye relief prism mounted so far forward? Why is your laser illuminator so far back? Really interested in this setup. I have a wwsd to build myself.

6:46 please elaborate From my experience w a second hand homebuilt ar, castle nuts and gas blocks need a going over. For my hd ARs ,it’s quality name brand factory built stuff.

Live and learn, eh? I've heard Faxon barrels are not dimpled where the gas block goes. Have you dimpled yours? If not, you should very seriously consider it unless you are pinning your gas block to the barrel. The same force that pushes the BCG back also pushes the gas block forward. Simple set screws don't cut it. I've got my own KP-15 build just about ready for testing as soon as rounds don't cook off in the magazines from going outside 😉

Good stuff

Hey man nice shirt! Where did you buy it?

I accidently applied a little too much blue loctite on the barrel nuts of my Stribog and a lot has seeped out onto the outside of the barrel. I've recently installed a 16" barrel to convert it to a PCC carbine. Do I need to worry about that? Would that cause damage to the barrel if I leave it alone. I don't want to have to take the thing apart. But if I do, I think I need to do it soon as this stuff cures in 24 hours

Off topic . But can we see an in depth review of the VZ 61 ? No content on KZfaq about the .380 version rly

Where’d you get that shirt my man!!! Like the vids

Guess I know what I’m doing this evening. I loctite a lot but it looks like I better double check everything.

Is red a bit too much? Or which flavor of locktite do you recommend? I know there are many different compounds even of red locktite I.e. 271 272

I wasted about 60 rounds of my 6.5 grendel recently when I knocked my scope loose last week even though i used loctite -_- thinking about getting a torque wrench and a good qd mount so I don’t waste any more money

Witness mark your screws is also very helpful

Awesome shirt !!!! Where can I get one ?

I dont know if youve noticed this or anyone has mentioned it over the 2 years youve had this video up but in the video of you shooting if you look at your aite mount its visibly jumping arounf on the rail a bit or seems to be.

Well, I know what I’m doing tonight… And now I’m gonna have to bring all my rifles to the next range trip.

Same happened to me. But 2 rifles 😢😢😢. 22Lr and. .308

Dang so you wasted 60 rds? That's like 400$

2:10 What kind of drum is that? Interesting.

Ah found it. 👍

If you learn from mistakes.......then all you did was not a waste

supposedly nail polish can serve the same purpose i have heard, can find it everywhere in emergency

btw - instead of Loctite, Blue Vibra-tite is another good option

The same thing just happened to me....

Civilians find it humorous sometimes that I still dummy cord my attachments to my rifle like I did in the Marines but when you're running around and bumping into things it could save you money if not a lot more. Thread locking is in the same vein.

Idk why I was under the impression that this was about the optic

May use in a serious situation??? Do tell?

I keep loctite in my b5 tube

Threadlocker and witness marks.

Who doesn't check the red dot or sites first when missing ? Lol classic

I won't ever watch DeRanged since I have a brain, standards, morals and I don't hate my gender, race, nation or it's history..That said, mistakes are how we learn if we acknowledge them..

Oh god. Not you again!

Yabbadabbadontdothatagain

Could have torqued the mount to manufactures specs.

wrong clean threads with contact cleaner before mounting. they will have oil on them. loctite is not a fix for your failer. 5 min to say optic loose wtf. lol stress test.

Roger, we already knew your civilian non-military ass would mess up already. Expected.

Talked to much. All you had to say was. Locktite your screws lol this video should have been less than 2 minute bro
