Just wondering if the loctite 426 is the stuff people are using that will hold a sight or base on with no screws, I could not remember the number. I want to test something before I go and drill and tap the barrel.

How expensive a scope are ya planning to mount with it?

Here us something similar (same thing for way cheaper)
But, that seems more of a permanent glue that your are suggesting
I would use something like rubber cement for a test and remove
Mark Twain Hobby IC-2000 CA Glue 1oz | eBay
(1) 1oz bottle of IC-2000. IC-2000 is a rubber-toughened cyanoacrylate that forms superior shock resistant bonds on non-porous surfaces. Top and tip can be soaked in acetone for cleaning. Refrigerate to extend shelf life.

It's not permanent, This is a lee enfield that I converted to 357 Magnum, It uses a Desert Eagle 357 Magazine. It feeds fires and ejects at this point.
Never heard of it, but it's interesting- as are its "rubber toughened" properties (had to look that one up, lol).
A type of gel, CA adhesive with gap-filling properties. I'm about to install a bushing on a boltface, and as always I wonder why we (well, most of us anyway) still do it the way it's been done "forever". PITA, low temperature silver solder. I've thought about trying a gel CA to glue the bushing to the boltface.
Just might give this stuff a try. I hate soldering...time to try something different.

My first year deer hunting I borrowed a break action 20ga. It threw slugs waaaaaay low on target. I used electrical tape to temporarily hold a rear sight in place.

Someone here suggested this is the glue to use to GLUE ON instead of Epoxy or Braze
to do a bolt bushing job
---
Off Roaders use it to make sure the tire bead wont come off the rim and to seal the tire bead to a slightly undersize rim so it dont leak
---
this stuff seems pretty tough and permanent
Its just rubber mixed in with krazy glue
Krazy glue will hold an ironworker to the underside of an I beam hanging in the air -
so the rubber mixed in must provide some decent shock and adhering properties
---
FYI based on this knowledge as well as krazy glue being able to seal the ends of an oring for permanent use - (making your own custom O-rings)
I used krazy Glue to do a Motorcycle tube repair once right at the stem
the stem bent over sideways when the tire went flat and ripped it away 1/4 way around
I had nothing to loose so figured, screw it
I Krazy Glued some tube rubber cut to size around the stem and sealed it up with the glue
That was 6 months ago, it's still holding air and i have not had to pump it up yet.
Krazy glue seems to really like rubber

I did a pretty thorough look into this a few years ago.
Even the weakest low temp silver bearing solder will be 4 or 5 times as strong as Black Max. If you warm it to about 180° or so, the ratio is more like 10:1.

I used JB Weld to attach a red dot to a 12 ga Model 12 over 10 years ago. It has survived a couple hundred slug and buck loads and several hundred bird shot loads.

We use this when making 'o' rings for supercharger (Whipple) intake manifolds...between the rotor case and the top of the intake. Also for the 'o' rings on the intake ports that the manifold seals to ithe heads in some applications. The ends are cut at a 45 degree angle.Mark Twain Hobby IC-2000 CA Glue 1oz | eBay

They are under compression from both sides so it's not a real valid comparison. The intake sees from 21-22 psi of boost at 8,500-8,750 rpm with no leakage issues.
For what it's worth. -Al

Although I haven't done this with sights or even gunsmithing, I have used plain super glue to attach one part to another when clamping wasn't practical, for example small parts, in order to drill both pieces for screw holes or pin holes to achieve alignment. After drilling if you need to get it apart, a sharp rap with a punch parallel to the joined surface will easily shear the bond. A little heat can help, if needed.
In my experience super glues are strong but the bond is easily overcome two ways, a sharp impact or a shearing force. For this reason I don't think a bolt bushing would be good application for this kind of bonding. I think firing a cartridge might be enough of a shock to break the bond. Maybe the rubberized stuff would survive, I don't know.
edit; not for bolt bushings but I have used sleeve retaining compounds. Now there's some tough stuff!
