I purchased a used Browning rifle with no iron sights . I purchased sights and will put them on to make the gun more aesthetically pleasing. Is Loctite Used on these screws?

If I was going to the trouble of putting sights on the rifle I woudl put a touch of the removable loctite. Probably wouldn't need it it sure wouldn't hurt anything.
As usual just my $.02 Paul K

The rear sight uses a single screw not sure what size it is but is less then 6/48 and I am thinking that is the one that may need some loctite. The 2 front ramp screws are 6/48 and I'll leave them alone. Thanks for the replies.

For what it’s worth, Leupold and Premier reticle did some tests a few years ago on different methods for attaching scope bases and they found that a light coating of a good grade machine oil on the screw threads gave the best results.
