So I got a new milspec carry handle, and attached it to a flattop upper. I added a dab of blue loctite to each screw, and tightened the thumbnuts to a little more than snug. Later I wanted to remove the carry handle, so I loosened the thumbscrews and proceeded to try and lift the carry handle off the upper - nothing happened. It wouldn’t budge. I have no idea what the hells happening here - my best guess is maybe when the loctite hardened, some excess got between the clamp and rail and hardened? Do you guys have any idea how I can get this damn thing off, or do I now have a de facto fixed carry handle upper?
