I recently bought a semi auto 22LR pistol that has a barrel threaded for a suppressor. I don't plan on attaching a suppressor to this gun anytime soon, so just leaving the cap in place for now. However, when I was test firing the gun earlier today; I noticed the thread cap was working loose after about two magazines or so. I was thinking about putting a small amount of Loctite 242 Blue on the threads, but is there a more appropriate thread locker for this application?
 
Clear fingernail polish typically does a decent job for temp locking threads…

Just raid that women’s make up stash I know you keep, and you’ll be good..

Plumber’s tape if you don’t want *too* permanent of a solution. Still enough for…errr…some of the FASTER shooting.

Not sure your price range. Have a 375 H&H with a muzzle brake. Nice rifle only fired a few times. Also a Mossberg 375 Ruger its been used and shows a few hunts on it.
