I just received my EGW picatinny mount for my new Stevens 308. You all probably know the front hangs over the barrel nut, so I will have to remove the rail to take the barrel off. I do plan to do this after hunting season this year to put on a 7mm-08 barrel.

So I am asking for info on how important the loctite is for the short term. I've always used loctite on my scope mounts, but I never removed them. I sold guns with scope attached and still have one I haven't changed. I'm not even sure HOW you remove loctite to break screws free again. This 308 barrel will not see more than 40 rounds of Fusion Lite (170 gr. @ 2000 fps) before I change barrels. Then again, if it's easy enough to undo the loctite, I guess it's no big deal. I would just have to know how to do that.

Thanks for any advice/info.
