I noticed that this bolt was not flush a few weeks back and I could hand tighten it back down. After doing so it has worked its way back up several times. The picture below is with the scope removed. It has to come off in order to snug this bolt down with a star bit and driver. I believe this is called a shoulder bolt and is #16 on the exploded diagram of the receiver assembly here https://americanairarms.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/E-100-0100-31-A1.pdf
My question is, does anyone know if it’s ok to use Loctite on it to prevent it from working its way up again? It appears that the lever may be hinged upon this bolt. I assume that the cocking motion is what’s loosening the bolt repeatedly. Anyone else encounter this issue on their Evol?
