I feel like a fool it was recommended from LaRue Tactical use 620 on the LaRue Tactical stealth Barrel threads for my suppressor muzzle brake from silencerco.
I got it shimmed up to where I thought it should be and allowed a little bit of room for torque so I applied the 620 compound threaded the brake on about halfway turned around to get my foot pound foot pound ratchet which took less than 20 seconds and whenever I tried to turn the muzzle device it was very hard to turn and before I can make it to where the muzzle device was perfectly flush and even it was Rock Solid.
Loctite claimed they had a 60 minute set time but in my experience just now it was a 40-second set time.
With the shims I am just a smidge off from being level on the muzzle brake if you weren't paying attention you probably wouldn't even notice that it was a little crooked.
My concern is whether or not when I put my can on if it's going to cause a baffle strike in the end from being slightly off the center axis if the shoulder doesn't meet up with the muzzle brake well enough.
Not sure if I can just wait until I get my can out of jail and put it on and run a clean Rod up through the door and Center it the best I can in the back of my action and see if there's any run out or not.
I feel like im fine like there's enough contact between the 90° on the barrel the shims and the 90° on the muzzle brake but I'm anal about this kind of thing and I feel like I might be overthinking it LOL.
As a little side note I know it's making contact with the shims because I can't even budge them which is what leads me to believe they are probably making full contact with both 90° surfaces therefore leveling the muzzle brake to the bore.
I'm really thinking I should have just used the rock set that came with it now LOL.
It's been many many years since I posted here so hopefully you all are just as nice as you used to be and don't eat my ass up for this question thanks in advance and hope you all are having a great day
