Don't you have to basically melt off red loctite with high heat? (I'm asking not telling)... just wondering if red loctite is something to look into....not that I have a rail (yet) that would need it.

I would not use red loctite personally on anything AR related.

That was the exact same impression/thought that I had too so when I saw his post I was like 'hang on a minute...isn't that stuff permanent?'

After blue locktite and Rocksett failed to keep the screws tight in a NSR I started using red locktite on them. Place the Allen key in the screw and hit the key with a pencil torch and they come right out. 271 has a melt failure temperature rating of only 500*. It's only a homeowner grade locking compound after all.

I hear these suckers shoot pretty nicely. Just got a 10.3" one of these and I'm eager to try it out!

Although I will likely pick a SMOS barrel up, I don't see it shooting much differently than my existing Rock Creek barrels. Having said that RC barrels shoot pretty well as long as the shooter does his job.

RC are nice but the Lilja def has my interest. Any info on these?

Just had a brief conversation with Eric tonight, so just a few details.

12.5 mid
10.5, 12.5 carbine
14.5, 16 mid
18 intermediate

18 Lilja, and I believe the rest are RC.

I need a 12.5 middy and likely grab a Lilja.
