Which Loctite

Would be the most permanent for affixing a barrel liner? Or would epoxy be better? It's a 45-70 liner if that makes a difference.

Thanks, Roger

I think I would solder it. Although some have had luck with acra glass I wouldn't trust it on a rifle caliber.

I've used red, blue and green Loctite as well as Black Max and Acraglas. All will work well with RFs and I'd feel comfortable with Acraglas, Black Max and green Loctite on an unshouldered 45-70 liner. I used red Loctite quite successfully on my first CF reline but it was a shouldered liner in 223 Rem. FWIW.
Regards, Joe

Thanks guys. It's a 33" barrel so lots of area to hold. I just didn't want to turn it into a speargun.

I have talked to several people who come highly recommended in the black powder arena, and they all seem to use acraglass or high hold LocTite. Cat it, slide it in, clean the ends and let it harden.

That sounds like a plan.

Loc-tite also makes a product for securing automotive cylinder sleeves. It is permanent. It may be worth a look?

If you go to the McMaster Carr website you will find many LocTite products for holding sleeved items in place. Several are designed for high temperature environments.

The nice aspect is that you simply brush on the sleeving agent, press in the liner and wait overnight. The LocTite agents set-up firmly in anaerobic conditions. No mixing, and precious little mess.
