Barrel Install Question...

[goinssr]

for those that like to roll their own. When you change barrels do you use an anti-sieze lubricant on the threads before you screw it into the action? If so what do you use?

Anit-sieze is primarily used on disparate metals (not that you can't use it on equal metals - just not necessary).

I use a dab of gun grease only as a protective film. A-lil-dab-il-do-ya.... :cool:

anti-sieze will make for consistent torque values.

I've seen where some advocate the use of anti-seize and some don't and was just wondering what the general consciences was here. I have never used an anti-seize but instead use Slick50 gun grease. I use it primarily for protection also and was just curious as to whether or not it would be appropriate in this application.

I would definitely use it on stainless, which has a propensity to gall, an when it happens, it's quick and the parts are toast.
To answer your questions, yes, a nickel based industrial anti-sieze lubricant.
