I have seen people use loctite both on barrel threads and also to secure parts that are press fit together. does anyone know how long a part secured with loctite can be expected to hold together, and if any conditions, other than heat would cause it to fail? There's a wierd purist in me that thinks that if you need it to do the job, you are doing something wrong, but sometimes modern methods and materials are pretty amazing. some of the loctite products that I have seen can fill gaps up to .015", which is a pretty sloppy fitup. Wondering if the repeated rattling and shaking and pressures involved near the chamber would work this stuff loose? silverbrazing seems more permanent for a press fit, but has its own flaws, such as the possibility of warping the barrel, and destroying any heat treating that was done to the reciever.
