Always clean the screws AND the threaded holes with Gun Scrubber or a similar degreaser. 2. Clean the degreaser out completely and air dry 3. Use LockTite on screws and torx to specs - let dry This should prevent you from having a future problem with loose bases. Click to expand... I agree, but never ever use red loc-tite or you might never be able to remove it in the future! I use blue, but there is one made just for guns!

Click to expand... when I get the loc-tite I will probably get either the yellow or go onto midawayusa.com and get some made specifically for guns. Thank you for the steps for installing the scope base Charlie-NY!
