I threaded my SKS barrel to screw on a muzzle flash. What can I use to put on the threads before I tighten down my muzzle flash so it want fall off the barrel. I even thought of useing super glue but wasn't sure what would happen after 300-400 rounds was shot, probably melt off.

Super glue isn't that super. You can blow the end of your rifle off. Threads need to be cut into the barrel. Any good gunsmith can do this for just a little money.pp

Yes it does. Though it depends on the .357 Magnum pistol, and depends on what powder is used in the cartridges it's firing. A Ruger SP-101 with a two-inch barrel will produce a lot more muzzle flash than, say, a Colt Python with an eight-inch barrel (on the account of there being a lot more powder still burning when the projectile exits the barrel.) Winchester 110 grain .357 Magnum loads produce a big, bright, obvious ball of fire, whereas COR-BON loads produce a less-obvious flash. One uses WW231 powder, which always burns very brightly. The other uses flash-suppressed powders suitable for use in dim environments. And, as has been said, muzzle-flash is always brief, and is only noticeable when it's dark. The darker the surroundings, the more obvious the muzzle-flash.

I don't know how it will hold up on a gun muzzle but that Loc-tite in the red bottle is pretty good stuff, I've used it on the threads on the end of my police batton with good results

Definitely use the lock tite like the other two recommended. I use both red or blue depending upon what I am doing. I like blue for scope mounts and red for critical parts that I won't be disassembling.

A product called Loc-Tite, the RED version. Only use a wee bit.

I never used any product to lock the threads but I constantly check and re-tighten anything that is loose every time I clean the weapon. I clean the weapon after every use.

Use blue loctite. It won't come undone unless you want it to, but, unlike the red loctite, you can actually get it to come loose, with the right encouragement.
