    Clean with alcohol, fit as necessary, scuff both surfaces with 180 grit, clean with alcohol again, use Loctite Red 263 if you need some time or 380 if you’re brave.

    I noticed that some Loctite 263 is labeled "RED threadlocker" and some just say "Loctite 263 Threadlocker". Is there a difference between them?

    It's just the labeling as far as I know. I did come across this which may be of interest to you.

    Did you use silver or silver with cadmium. The guys who re-solder Remington bolt handles on use a higher temp stuff.
    The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.

    No, that was my problem. I didn't know stainless required special handling. The links that 8mm posted explain about stainless very well.
