I just did it again last week as tboth bases came loose. All six screw in each mount. I cleaned them as well as I could and let them sit for a couple of hours before reassembling the bolt and trigger. We'll see.

I use the purple #222 on scope mounts. I never could find it in town, but ebay has it for $10 with free shipping.

What color does it dry to? I think clear, 303. Yes, the heat from a soldering iron is supposed to loosen it. Unless of course, I glue them. Then they just fall out after a few months. ![]() | |

I would imagine SG uses the blue variety for reasons we are all aware of. ![]() |

I use the blue quite a bit on motorcycles, and recently started buying it in the stick, like a Chapstick dispenser. It tends to not go bad like the liquid does.

Maybe a few Blue Hawaiians would loosen up her lips.

I use blue for most of my gun needs, but am very careful to degrease parts before applying. Have used red on scope bases on a few truly nasty kickers that have no iron sights on them, anyway.
