Must add, the ring mount around the scope tube was still secure,
it was the mount itself to the the rifle mount that shook loose :-)

ah! thanks for the info I understand now, I use blue threadlock on my base and rail screws, seems to do the job and can be undone easily.

I use 2700 because I started off with it and did what I needed so I simply replaced it with like for like when the time came. It is only used for specific applications.

fair enough :)

Good lockwiring is an artform.

It is indeed. It needs some planning to get it right especially when lock wiring rotors where you are working with a long length of lock wire and you need to tension the wire on the correct planes of the bolt heads. That reminds me, drilling the bolt heads is a bi of an art form as well, especially HT sets.

A good reversible thread lock for anti rattle is nail varnish (your choice of colour!) I use clear on the brake lever adjuster screws on my motorbike, the vibes from a big twin used to unscrew them leading to interesting moments. Dab of nail varnish no more movement, just use nail varnish remover if you want to adjust them again!

I learnt my wirelocking skills on Harriers! Makes me feel old!

Nah, if it was Harts then you'd be old.

I bought some 222 for my SGC 9mm. The muzzle brake would work loose while firing. Put some of the 222 on and it hasn't budged.
I can't unscrew it by hand, but a screwdriver or rod through the slots of the brake makes it easy to undo.
