That's the truth. A while back, I bought a gun and wanted to remove the stock to send up to Chris Dawe. The top tang screw would only turn so far till it stopped. Turned out, a previous owner had used loctite to keep the screw timed, instead of fitting a new screw, or shimming beneath the tang to keep it tight. They obviously used way too much loctite, and when they put the screw back in, managed to cement the screw to the threaded sleeve in the stock. Turning the screw was also turning the sleeve until it came up hard on the underside of the tang. All is well now, but it took a wrench on the screwdriver shank and some serious effort to break the cement bond. New screw, properly timed, now fitted.
