When it says clean surface, it means it

In applying a Mossberg ghost ring sight kit, I needed something to attach the front sight, but didn't want to do silver solder or welding. I had a buddy who'd used regular Loctite and had a sight fall off, so I looked for a specific product for sights. I read up on Loctite's Black Max and tried it. I cleaned both barrel and sight with carb cleaner and then made sure they were dry and devoid of all contamination. It glued on quickly, was controllable, and secured the front sight to the barrel so tightly that it seemed impervious to any impact. Then I went to shoot it. After about 50 rounds of buckshot and 10 slugs, (say the next part in Ron White's voice) "it fell off". It didn't fall off in the middle of firing, it just fell off. It wasn't the impact that jarred it, it was probably due to being a 100 degree day and heating up the barrel from the fired shells. Loctite has a material data sheet on the Black Max, and it begins to lose adhering properties as it gets hotter. I didn't get the barrel up to 400 degrees, but it got warm enough that it didn't stay sealed to the barrel. So I tried again, this time taking a steel brush and dremel to both the bottom of the sight and the barrel, and scoring both lightly with a knife to provide more adhering surfaces. Upon gluing bare metal to bare metal, I let it rest for a night, then went out to try it again. 50-60 rounds worth of buckshot and slugs later, the sight was still securely, firmly attached. I'd give it 5 stars if it hadn't fallen off the first time. As is, it seems very, very secure, but I'd rather not have to look for a sight that falls off at the range, or lose it during a competition or worse yet. It works well with completely bare metal on bare metal, though. And I'd never worry about it on any parts that don't get exposed to high heat.

I used this to mount the front sight part of mossbergs Ghost Ring sight set up on my Mossy 500. It has held up extremely well thru about 125 rounds of 2 3/4 00 buck loads. It is shinier than the parkerized finish on the gun so I spray painted it with some flat black paint and now it looks great. This stuff is strong!
