Thread lub for SS barrels ??

[Shooter0302]

What is the general concusses on lub when putting a SS barrel into a steel receiver ? I was thinking about picking up a small tube of either "Kopper Koat", or one with "moly" in the compound./

Nickel anti seize

That would work. I use Permatex Antisieze building bicycle wheels too. Stainless spokes and alloy nipples do not seize after 10 years in place.

OK, I'll check who has a small tube of Permatex, after all, " a little dab will do you"

Love the meme Robinhood!!!

All I've ever done is to heat and coat with FL, wipe excess off as directed. Never had any seizing issues.

Dykum paste is better for that application, aka; "Blue Ear". Put it on a black phone ear piece and the boss will have a blue ear for days, it doesn't wash off.

Not that I would ever do anything like that!

Permatex Prussian blue is a good one also.

Nickel anti seize of any type.

the copper stuff should be outlawed. It may have a use but I never found it.

[sharpshooter]

I don't know why anybody would put anti seize on barrel threads.......it's not needed and it's messy. I've never seen a barrel threads seize. A drop of oil won't hurt.

I don't like the grind of metal on metal. Call it a mechanic thing.

Nickel Anti seize is what is recommended for stainless and you are integrating stainless and steel, possible galling and or interactions.

Certainly if someone does not want to its fine, my NSS Action Wrench also has toque spec and that is based on lubed.

I am not good around paint or glue but I don't have a problem with anti seize.

[Robinhood]

Metals with galling tendencies are normally identified with 300 series stainless, aluminum and titanium. none of my barrels are either of those materials so galling is not a concern for me. a drop of 3in1 is all I use.

[m12lrs]

Well the nickel anti seize is what is recommended for Savage

I build a lot of AR's too and those hard core AR guys are ready to fight about mil spec. this and mil spec that. Only thing you can use on that barrel nut is this special moly grease.

I am a why not guy and use anti seize on the Savage and moly grease on the AR. Oil or grease or anti seize or nothing would probably work in either case.

But really why not. It sure can't hurt to follow the instructions

Yep
