Anyone ever heard of applying loctite 242/243, between the barrel extension & receiver, as a "bedding compound" , to improve accuracy?

Loctite is a cyanoacrylate (superglue) derivative. Why would you want to glue those pieces together?
In any case, it burns off at high temperatures and the barrel and gas port are the hottest parts of the whole system.
The above poster is exactly correct. I use loctite at my job everyday. High heat scenarios are not what it is meant for. The build procedure for these rifles is well established at this point, and people are shooting very accurately with these parts constructed into guns per the SOP. Why reinvent the wheel (with a non-round shape in this case)?
"We must surrender our attachments to government in every aspect of life. This goes for the right and the left. We need to give up our dependencies on the state, materially and spiritually. We should not look to the state to provide for us financially or psychologically.... Let us understand that it is far better to live in an imperfect world than it is to live in a despotic world ruled by people who lord over us through force and intimidation. - Dr. Ron Paul
Not only no, but hell no. There is a ton of other things that play into accuracy and loctite is definately not one of them. Any advantage anybody tells you would be negated but time behind the rifle and learning proper trigger control.
I suggest that you stay away from wherever you are hearing the nonsense like this any stay over here.
