How do you guys go about loctiting your trigger adjustment screws once you find the setup you like? I have my trigger setup perfectly for me, but I'm afraid to lose it. I was thinking I could take the trigger out and put a nut on the screws. That might work.

Well, you can remove them and readjust the screws (your best bet) or you could just drop some loctite on the base of the screws and let it dry...it should be enough to keep them from rattling out of place.

I put a dab of non-hardening pipe dope on my trigger stop screws, works fine.

Loctite doesnt solve ALL of your problems ;)

No, but Duct Tape will! ;)

I 2nd the pipe dope suggestion. It will be adjustable, but it won't move unless you want it to.

if you wanna do it RIGHT... get a hold of some Loctite 290 (Medium Strength WICKING grade) its GREEN. once you've got em set the way you like, just put a dab in the hole where the screw is, and it magically works its way down into the threads. It's AMAZING.

LOCTITE has a solution for everything. Do your research.

It doesn't SMELL as good, but being green, it has a nice minty-fresh taste! :)

haven't tasted green yet I'll give it a lick when I get home, but I know that blue and purple are very sugary(is that a word) tasting

i used blue locktite and readjusted it later its not hard to break free at all.

but you will have to untread and apply loctite then rethread to make it work.

Which is my problem. I wish the local stores carried the green loctite.
