How necessary is a thread locker on a muzzle device? After torqage is this thing gonna walk itself loose?
Seeing if anyone has actual Intel or is this an unwritten law?

Only use it for suppressor mounts. Even then, rocksett doesn't have much shelf life and doesn't work when it gets old.

After torque and carbon fouling they become pretty hard to remove, so I wouldn't think it's necessary.
When using a suppressor use rocksett. If not using a suppressor, just torque it to spec.

I’ve had a mount walk before. I’m pretty religious about Rocksett. No need to bother with most non-mount devices.
Thanks all
I have used the PA shim system and torqued the MD to 20 ft# without problems. https://precisionarmament.com/accu-w...gnment-system/
degrease threads on barrel and muzzle device if you do use it
The Smith Vortex self-tightens when the gun is fired. A different device poorly designed or executed could self-loosen. Put it on loosely, fire a shot, and see if it is tighter or looser?
