The front sling swivel stud on my rifle ...swivels. Am I being needlessly anal? Are they supposed to swivel? Or is there something I can do to get it tight in the proper position? Basically, I don't want it to swivel, but maybe that's just inexperience... this is my first centerfire rifle.
Two pictures attached. The first (left) picture shows the front SSS as it is when it's tightened snugly (not over-torqued, just nice and snug by hand). The second (right) picture shows the front SSS as I'd like it to be when it's snug, but in the picture, it's loose and swivels freely.
Also, regarding Loctite; should I apply it to the threads of the sling swivel studs?
Thanks for the help.
