    I dont hate Lock-tite but the preaapplied vibra-tite or whatever it is called seems to be preapplied to a lot of equipment.
    That stuff is just pure evil and I wouldn't use it on any of my gear. I don't have an issue with Lock-tite and having owned a couple of older British motorcycles I can assure you it has a lot of uses and when used correctly it wont give you the headaches this vibra-tite stuff seems to.
    I also like the allen head bolts because they are a known quality, I believe all allen head bolts are at least a grade 8 fastener. That and a drop of Blue Lock-tite and your in business, but I've always got T-Handles available and keep a set in my range bag.

    Yes, which IMO is awesome. I fracking hate hex screws. Flatheads are good but can be and uneeded pita to get on if you happen to only have an odd size flathead on hand. Phillips goes in easy, and is big enough many small flatheads will also seat up.

    I cut a couple small lines on mine so both normal flats and phillips will work.
    From TOS ... "buy the shit out of that thing, all the mil spec is just nonsense."

    I do not concur,
    Phillips is just as bad as hex in the sense mentioned above about not being able to find a tool in a hurry, with the added bonus of it being easy to accidentally strip as what happened in this case.

    Go flat head or go home.
