Long story short I applied blue loctite on the barrel nut on my FX Crown because I had trouble removing it when changing liners. However it spilled a little on the liner itself and I’m wondering what’s the best way to clean it off the barrel nut and liner. Any help would be appreciated.

If its inside a nut hole, and the nut is too small to fit a brass brush down, probably a solvent like acetone would be your best bet. Loctite is basically glue, and the solvent will turn it into a runny, gooey mess. So you'll likely have to repeat the process a few times if it's hard to reach into the hole with anything.

But if the loctite is on a nut, or something exposed, just brush away with a brass brush.

loctite is usually broken down by heat. i have used a jet lighter to remove loctite on set screws in the past

If you're afraid of using acetone or an open flame (doing damage to the surrounding material, say if it's wood or plastic) then one other option would be to use a soldering iron to heat up the loctite.

Thank you all, managed to remove most of the loctite with paint remover. However it appears the loctite has glued the carbon sleeve liner to the barrel. That isn’t bad news in itself but don’t think I’ll be able to remove that sleeve. I’ll have to test it out see if the accuracy suffers. Hopefully not

Likely won't effect the accuracy. If you have to remove it, I suspect you should test solvents on some spare carbon fiber sleeve material to ensure it does not disassemble the sleeve.
