I just installed this red dot mouting plate /then/ I thought twice about how I applied the threadlocker. (Blue gel, Permatex 24005.) On the receiver I put a little threadlocker in the holes using a toothpick instead of on the bolts. Has anyone had trouble applying threadlocker that way?
On the one hole that goes all the way through the top of the receiver I noticed the gel formed a ring and at least that portion was pushed out the bottom. I'm hoping a sufficient amount actually coated the threads. (I applied the threadlocker directly to the threads of the bolts for the red dot itself.)
