![]() I was looking into a different issue at the time, and this was low priority. Why didn't I pull the tube and seal it? In all candor, I couldn't be bothered. Remember - this was a simple experiment, and I didn't want to cement anything in place. Why didn't you remove and loctite the gas tube since that's where you have the leak?All true. Also wouldn't a leak free gas system give you more consistent pressure and velocity, helping with consistency? I'm pretty sure I read about the green loctite from something posted by Bill on this forum. That is why I used loctite on the tube and not the gas block itself. I saw the same thing when I removed my handguard to clean the rifle. Include locating pins in radiator assemblies, sleeves into pump housings and bearings in auto transmissions.Ĭure Time: Fixture - 30 minutes Full - 24 hours Prevents metal fretting and corrosion, Stops leakages. Locks and secures metal cylindrical assemblies up to 0.015" diametral clearance. Provides a shear strength of over 3,800 psi on steel. Loctite® 620™ is a high temperature (450☏), high viscosity liquid retaining compound for cylindrical bonding. Loctite ® 620™ Retaining Compound, Cylindrical bonding, High temperature Recommended for parts that will need subsequent dismantling, i.e., retention of bearings onto shafts and into housings.Ĭure Time: Fixture - 10 minutes Full - 24 hours Loctite ® 609™ is a low viscosity, rapid-curing anaerobic adhesive that augments the strength of press fit assemblies or slip fit assemblies up to 0.005"in diameter. Loctite ® 609™ Retaining Compound, Cylindrical bonding I can see the gas tube going into the gas block through my handguard, no leaks or carbon anywhere on the gas block and barrel. I believe I used Loctite 620, or 609 which is designed to hold bearings, etc. ![]()
