it only goes on the bit inside the front of the action, so no-one is going to see it... I normaly put a fews drops at the front and rear of the barrel housing section of the action, and then a drop on the threads of breech section before installing the nut. Fit the muzzle weight, ensuring you have it screwed on the right number of threads for a medium (not too tight or too loose as either destroy accuracy) underver lockup. You may need to rotate the barrel slightly to index, as the perfect muzzle weight screw-in distance might end up not being vertically in line with the underlever. Then nip everything up and let the loctite go off.
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. But not lathes. I have too many lathes. Thanks, JB.
