Carman06 Posted January 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 As part of an engineering dissertation I am looking into varied methods of preventing fastener tampering. I am hoping a gunsmith who has experience the methods used in the gun trade can advice on the success/pitfalls on current methods. An example may be filling in fastener heads to prevent removal.

Cheers Steve be surprised if there are that many methods used in gunsmithing Usually now its just indicator marking to show if the screws have been removed since factory build for warranty or liability purposes (painted trigger screw threads for example) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert 888 Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Motorbike anchor manufacturers use some good techniques, ball bearing hammered in an Allen head bolt,shear bolts etc. An engineering firm may be able to assist also may be worth looking on the Loctite website for thread locking glues. Mastic , metal resins, haroldite has also been put in Allen heads,security screws wich will only tighten and locking wheel nuts-bolts.
