Loctite on barrel

[LarryDScott]

If you would use my barrel vise, with a rear entry
wrench such as a Holland. Put a healthy breaker
bar on that,and then use an abrupt snap to break
the seal,there would be no problem.
There isnt one, new or old that cant be
taken apart w/o damage to parts. I have done 100s
and havent been defeated. No rosin, leather, or
hydraulic press required. LDS

Preacher if you was asking me about the thread fit. The thread fit on the one I got was quite snug to say the least.

That was what I wondered about, if it was tight enough why the Red loctite ??

That's kinda what got me ranting about it. I've never personally seen someone use red loctite on a barrel. But I've seen it now.

I have a barrel shank book, according to it
1917 Enfield should be
10 Sq. TPI thread, .800" tenon length, 1.125" major, 1.085" minor, 45° bolt nose and a .410" wide extractor cut

Those are correct. A Good guide, but I fit each barrel to each action. Numbers vary.

Square threads have the lowest friction of any other thread produced
