New trigger

[Saddie]

I'm getting ready to put my new trigger in my matrix 355 what bolts should I Use loctite on and which loctite should I use

[Cossack]

I would use LocTite very judiciously on the trigger screws, if at all. I'd use blue or , better yet, purple (easier to break loose). Loc Tigh film can be broken using heat but those screws are quite small and easily stripped. You might put a bit on the screws -and let it dry- before inserting them.

If it's a Trigger Tech, fasteners normally come loctite pre-applied.

X2 Read the paperwork that came with it....(if it's a TT)

[Saddie]

Thanks for your response yes it is a TT so I will make sure to read all instructions, one more thing when I took the stock off the rail it looked like the two bolts were put in with loctite should I use it for the stock bolts, and for the scope mount I'm definitely using some thanks again

Trigger Tech has installation videos on their site and I'm sure there on YouTube also . Be careful when you reinstall the stock screws, Their really easy to strip .

I put BLUE Loctite on my stock bolts and pretty much every other bolt - especially all scope mount and scope ring bolts. Make sure not to use the red.

On small screws that I might need to take back out I use clear fingernail polish. It works great and yet is extremely easy to break free when needed. I use it on my broadheads also.

robertyb told me you bought all there was in the US so he had to go with clear

[robertyb]

Saw no need as it is not visible. had it been Pank would have been bought.
And....the clear was cheaper.

The only screws you re-use are the 2 that fasten the stock to the underside of the rail. I believe all the new ones have loc-tite on them. Only re-use the 2 for the stock as some of the others are a different size than the original.

Should be an easy swap on a new bow like yours. On my 97 Exocet I had to grind 1/5 of an inch off the bottom of the trigger and about the same off the front channel on the underside of the rail so that I could get full trigger travel. I also had to re-drill the holes in the arrow retention spring which they did mention in the written instructions as a possibility.

It was a lot of messing around but the results were worth it. Works great .
