Are we suppose to loctite grip screws?
Cause, I gotta say, I've never once thought to do that.
I do the opposite and put a dab of grease on the grip screw threads.

I am an LMT fan (or was before QC took a dive) and I’ve had several. None with that grip though
Rocksett has a temp rating of 2050 degrees F. Heating that area of the receiver up to that temp would wreck the annealing.
A minimum of 20 minutes in boiling water is the factory-recommended method for removing Rocksett.
Then it should’ve been fine. BCM is flawless. 😆
It had to be a WISH BCM grip… otherwise, the built in anti over torque feature would’ve activated.
WOW ........... did'nt know it was that high....... but would I never had tried heating 'area' just screw.
I have learned a bit from your posts.......... Thanks sir
ps not saying I have ever done or thought of doing any of the crap that you have worked on LOL
I tend to over RIG that entire area myself.
Yeah, Rocksett is Sodium Silicate. Sets up pretty much like crystalline quartz.
Applying heat to that is about the same as wanting to melt sand. Naturally, it could fail mechanically at below that temp, but I'm not surprised.

I’ve done similar with a cheap harbor freight soldering iron for red /green loctitie that is
