Greetings,

New here so hello.

I was screwing in the charging bolt for the 1st time and it seemed difficult to get it to seat down. I unscrewed it couple times and brushed the threads. Has anyone else experienced issues with the threading on charging bolt?

The roller knob Itself needs to be loose on the bolt and should be oriented like this:

Because the roller knob is also the lock back mechanism. Like this:

The nut itself is a locknut with an internal nylon bushing. So it should be a bit tight.

I have used red in automotive applications. I can't remember where. I do know it wasn't that hard to remove. I have used silicone RTV to stop screws on throttle adjustments on carbs.

Now was it permanent or removable? Different brands use different colors and numbers. I stick with 1 brand so I know what I've got.
