Loctite produces a liquid bonding agent that is often used to secure parts on firearms. Generally, Loctite is used to keep the screws holding a scope mount strongly fastened to your weapon. Loctite can also be used to secure other non-moving parts, such as the forearm barrel guards, firmly in position; however, before you bond your hand guards into place, keep in mind that removing them is necessary to properly clean your AR-15. If your hand guards are held in position with Loctite, they still can be removed through the proper application of heat.
