It's been a while since I've posted here. I have MAC1 screwcups on the stock of my HW77K, and the large front trigger guard screw has been thread-locked with blue loctite. However, the smaller rear trigger guard screw consistently comes loose (about 1/4 or 1/3 turn) each time I use the rifle ("use" means several dozen shots). What is a recommended method for keeping it tightly screwed into the wood, without damaging the wood or making it too permanent a fastener?

Or.. might want to try this one first, put a small piece of rubber band in there, if the hole is too small for that, then a piece of material. more
They will replace and repair the screw in store so that I do not have to have it sent out. take it to them and tell them what happened.
Most battery terminals are 5/16” or 10mm.
Loctite 425 Assure Blue Plastic Fastener with medium-strength thread locker is designed as a fast-curing, low-strength adhesive for locking metal and plastic fasteners. Loctite 425 cures quickly on plated metal and plastics fasteners; fixturing is achieved in less than 2 minutes and full strength within 24 hours.
The trend of side post car batteries is over. But don’t do a double take if you find one after lifting your car hood. Some cars still come with side post batteries, and you might own one of them. However, you can do side post to top post conversion for seamless car battery performance. more
What should be used as thread locker for metal-to-plastic? I know blue Loctite is not good for plastic. I've read that many people use CA, but there are many types of CA--on my workbench I have four different kinds, but I don't know which (if any) will work.

The reason I ask that that I'm having trouble with things popping off my heli in flight. As I understand it, this is not good. I've used blue Loctite on everything metal-to-metal, and they're holding fine. It's the metal screws in plastic that's the problem.

LOCTITE products when cured, harden into a thermoset plastic which does not mix with the fluid media that is flowing through the pipe. Hence there is no contamination. If some materials remain cured, they get dissolved in fluid media. [links]
Yes. There are some high strength threadlockers that can lock fasteners that are big and resist extreme vibrations. Please refer to the product selector tool.
LOCTITE thread sealants are thixotropic in nature and hence will not flow to other areas. Also, LOCTITE thread sealants come with a nozzle for precise application on the joint engagement area. Hence, there is no scope for a mess. In case of any additional amount coming out of the nozzle, you can wipe it off easily because as long as LOCTITE thread sealant is in contact with air, it will remain a liquid and not cure at all.
The cure time is the time taken by the adhesive to completely become a tough structural solid (thermoset plastic).
