Evil flash hider locktite?

My evil flash hider is in its rightful place. Man, I hated heating the barrel up again but it was for a good cause.

I'm guessing that the left hand threads are so the FH will not twist itself off when firing. Is this correct or do I need locktite on it to keep it in place?

I would use locktite to make sure it doesn't go anywhere. Don't need a lot.

I've always used locktite and never had one come off by accident.
