      He was a moron who didn't know he was supposed to use a heat gun on the loctite so he just got mad and kept trying to turn it.

        Isopropyl also works on screws anyways, probably could spray around the barrel nut and let it soak for a bit then give it a try if you're having a lot of trouble.

            I didn't even have to use it when I built my 870. Why?

              the 870 magazine tubes are silver soldered in i think so theyre even harder to remove. the mossberg ones are threaded and screwed in with red loctite.

              i tried to remove an 870 magazine tube with map gas before and it wouldnt even heat it up enough

                Incredible. That's absolutely ridiculous they're doing that from the factory. It is absolutely NOT needed. My 870 ancient, thankfully

            That’s right, I put a scratch on mine before I realized.
            Once I understood it needed heat to break the red locktite I heated it up on the stove (flat electric stovetop.. would have been easier with a gas burner) until the puff of smoke. Then it came right off no problem.

        Putting loctite and especially RED loctite on a barrel nut is just as moronic as ignoring that it's there when trying to take it off; any kind of thread locker is completely unnecessary unless your manufacturing is so shit that it's necessary and if you do any kind of tactical shooting and/or have a pencil barrel it's probably going to get hot enough to degrade 246 anyway. Plus if you decide to go with a thread locker anyway then why not just use 2422? It lets you take off the nut if you need to and unless you have a giggle switch or are doing something that involves magdumping then there's no goddamn way an AR is going to get hot enough to degrade it.

        I will kill anyone using loctite or rockset or any thread locking substance on a barrel nut. You are too use aeroshell grease on the threads for the barrel nut and torque it to spec.

    People like this should not own guns.

    This is clearly a sign of autistic blind rage and poor emotional development in addition to abysmal technical knowledge.

      A lot of people act without thinking. It's actually the most common method of problem solving. I have never understood this. I would have downloaded a technical manual and read the whole thing before even getting any tools out.

        So where are you getting your technical manuals for guns, because most manufacturers don't provide such a thing.

    I bought a PC Carbine about a year ago and there was red locitite on literally every fricking screw except the main stock screws. The rear sight base was especially fricked up. The forward screw was so tight that what I thought was it loosening was actually my bit getting twisted and the head rounding off, and the rear screw looks like the head was welded shut. I got it used, so I'm surprised this is all that ended up being wrong with it

    >everyone absolutely roasting this guy
    newbies that have no experience with shit. it is entirely possible that its not his fault, and I have seen it before personally with PSA: the manufacturer installed the nut without using a torque wrench. and without anti-seize, just dry threads.

    the metal can actually bond together like this and is impossible to remove without destroying the upper

        doesnt mean it was installed correctly, max torque for these is like 70 ft lbs

        heating and oiling can help, but they are copes if it's Black personed on there. youll never need to do anything special if it's to spec with aeroshell grease.

        Something is seriously fricked up if you need to do what that guy did to remove something that's supposed to be torqued to 70 ft lbs max and isn't on a car or something else that's constantly exposed to the elements.
