Depends on how your specific gas block is designed. Could you use a longer screw and put a lock nut on the outside? That might require a bit of machining. Just a single set screw as the regulating valve is not a good design in my opinion. A loose screw is likely to be blown out during firing. If that happens it will return to being a single shot until the screw is replaced.

Measure exactly how much of the screw is sticking out the top.

Remove that much from the *bottom* of the set screw. Put the screw back in and test fire it.

If it still runs, break out the red or green lock-tite.

Blue Loctite works great I have about the same amount sticking out and hae not had an issue with it since.

even if the gas block gets hot?

I thought blue locktight was easy to melt and reduce holding power.

as far as red or green I still need to be able to move it when I need to.

perm attach is not an option.

I can tell you that if you use Green Loctite, without a torch you are NOT getting it apart.
