Installing trigger

Post by Huronsteel »

I'm getting ready to put a new tt trigger in my matrix 355 and I see the bolts that come with it already has something on the bolts, should I still use the blue loctite

I'm pretty sure that that is a locking compound, but one SMALL drop of the Blue won't hurt. I did that when i installed mine two plus years ago, zero issues. Let it setup for 24 hours minimum.

Yes, they apply loctite to the screws so it really isn't needed.

be careful with the trigger tech triggers and how you torque them down. my experience is they can be stripped even by hand tight. i dont know how they tap there threads but they are easier to strip.i think the loctite just gums up the thread personaly. i wouldnt add anything.

Yep, the torque value is like 12 ft.lbs. for that bolt if memory serves me right, not a whole lot of Scrumph required. :wink:
