    I don't think any, at least I hope not because I didn't lub mine at all.

    Wd 40 will work or any anti seize grease.

    Not necessary unless you might want to replace it someday. Olddav might have trouble down the road if he does. I suppose a good barrel vice, action wrench, nut wrench and a heavy hammer might un-seize anything.

    A little anti-seize, gray bottle with the silver/copper mix. Also used on C&B revolver nipples. Even with BP it lasts through several cleanings.

    I use plain old anti-seize. I don't like the long-term effects of WD-40 sitting on metal, so I don't use it for anything but water displacement after rinsing parts.

    why the lude? prevent corrosion and binding? you can smear some high temp grease, anti seize, even some synthetic motor oil smeared on the threaded will work to prevent rust and binding.
