Quick question for other AT-X owners, with a bit of explanation:
Last evening I took a moment to slightly adjust the trigger on my AT-X and had the lower chassis off the main chassis. After I made my adjustment to the 2nd stage I decided to do my due diligence and just check all the action screws before buttoning everything back up. This is when I noticed the front action screws were both barely finger tight.
I am not sure if they were never torqued properly in the first place, or if they came loose after my last couple of range sessions. Shame on me for not checking every fastener before my first range session.
Now the question, is it permissible to use some low temperature “blue” thread locker on all of the action screws?
The rear screws were plenty tight, but the front two were not. The owners manual doesn’t specify thread locker on any of those screws, but the two front screws are fairly small 2.5mm hex key and I am reluctant to put anything more than the specified nominal 36-40in-lbs of torque to them. I’d like them to potentially be more resistant to loosening, but given the small size of the cap I also don’t want to risk deforming them getting them out should the need arise if I do use some thread locker.
Any advice here aside from checking them periodically (which I will) and moving on with life?
