On my Ruger they wont stay tight. After 50 shots they are loose. I have tried multiplr times to secure them with the thread lock and that doesnt work. I can see them protrued through the inside if i flip the gun over. Perhaps some nuts on the other side will hold them?

Try some loc-tite bearing fit or shaft fit, it has a better grip than thread lock but you will still be able to remove the screws on a short thread like that.

Red:

For Loctite thread locker (or bearing locker) to work properly, both surfaces to which it is applied must be absolutely oil and grease free. Simply wiping the fastener with a rag is often/usually not adequate for the thread locker to work as designed.

I have not ever had a problem if I thoroughly degreased both surfaces. On occasion I've used triclorothylene, but a scrubbing-flushing with mere rubbing alcohol seems to work equally well.

A word of caution: Unless you are absolute sure what the results will be, keep solvents away from plastics and wood finishes.

Hope the info helps,
