I’ve had a scope slide in the rings, when torqued to factory specs. I’ve seen 2 rails come loose from the action. I’ve seen two sets of Talley rings with cracks near the cap screws.
I don’t know anyone who uses it on action screws.For those that Loctite the action screws, how are you heating up the screw to remove it? I would think you would damage the stock.
I had my Talley scope bases come loose on my Kimber. The base screw holes go through the top of the receiver. I think that while cleaning the patch would rub the top of the boly area a bit and oil migrated into the threads because when I removed them there was oil under the base.
I'm willing to bet that most everyone here does. Or some sort of paint pen/nail polish. I know I drench mine in it.I don’t know anyone who uses it on action screws.
I would say no, I have had front sights on a 22 pistol shoot loose until loctited.Do you guys think scopes slipping and base's coming loose has anything to do with the heavier scopes of today vs lighter weight ones from the past?

This. It’s not uncommon for Glock front sights to come loose. Also aftermarket suppressor rear sights will sometimes walk back and forth if they are not degreased and Loctited.I would say no, I have had front sights on a 22 pistol shoot loose until loctited.
