Is 1 loose screw too much?

I remember reading this post a while back and had a question regarding this. My Geisselle T1/T2 mount says Aimpoint recommends using thread locker on the screws but I was under the impression that it was not necessary with the helicoil setup. Can you recommend the best practice here as I'm just about to mount my T2.

Helicoils simply prevent the wear and tear of steel threads of mounting hardware from engaging aluminum bodies, and provide much more strength than direct threads in those sizes. You still should use a small amount of a good quality removable threadlocker- Loctite 248 is the best choice. Don’t plaster the screws with it, a dab will get it done.

Back in the T-1 days I glued several stripped out T-1s to their mount with JB Weld.

It’s like covering up a bad tattoo with a bad tattoo, but it works!

I had a T1 that I stripped. I used a helicoil for a satisfactory repair.

Aimpoint and Wayne seem to have you covered though. It’s a great company.
