Greetings all, My first post, but have been reading THR for several years.
When breaking down my newly acquired Colt Series 70 Gold Cup, I found that the grip bushings came out when I tried to remove the grip panels. Apparently the PO had really over tightened them. Found a thread that was almost 10 years old that covered the subject and used the red thread locker (Permatex) fix, that worked on three of the bushings but one kept breaking loose. I did some research on-line and found that Loctite has a new red formula, #263 and that did the trick. So, many thanks to the original posters, you saved me a trip to the gun smith and thanks to Loctite for the improved product.
