Tikka Area 419 pic rail.

[WhiteA87]

About to mount my Area 419 rail to my T3X. Should i spend the 40 plus dollars for some loctite 380 to bond the rail even though it has a recoil pin? I will blue loctite and torque screws to spec when installing. Just seeing if anyone had a bad experience when they didn't bond the rail. The rifle is chambered in 300WSM.

$5 JB would suffice

Just confirming you have the Area 419 rail in your possession and it has the recoil pin? The area 419 site did not show it when I looked.

FWIW I'm on my third 419 rail for a T3x and they've all come with a recoil pin.

I've got one on my Tikka .308 and I actually did have the rail come loose when I installed it with the pin and no type of thread locker or bonding. Once I noticed I took everything apart, degreased it all and reassembled using a paint pen on the screw threads and between the rail and action. It's held up fine since then.
