Loctite on Trigger Housing Screw

[dvsdev]

Is it normal for manufacturers to put loctite on the threads of the trigger housing screw (on some rifles the screw that connects the trigger group to the action)?

I may need to find a replacement screw for my Howa 1500. Does anyone know what the size/thread/pitch for the trigger housing screw is and if they are available at local hardware stores?

If you go to fastenal be prepared to buy a 100 ct bag of 'em.

Local friendly hardware store selling a screw or two they ain't......
