I smear a bit of grease on the barrel threads.
Thats it.
I'm finally taking the plunge. I've spent the last eight months reading and accumulating parts and tools... tomorrow is the day. I'm changing out a factory 110 barrel in 270 for a Criterion in 260 Remington. I've arranged for phone support from Jim Briggs but the one question I forgot to ask of him is whether or not any sort of lube is used on the:
Receiver Threads
Barrel Threads or
Barrel Nut Threads
I plan on cleaning/degreasing all mating surfaces.
Thank you in advance for your help. I really like this site! :)

I wet the threads, the face of the nut and receiver ring with Break-Free.
Oh, while your cleaning, clean the lug abutments and recesses.
Bill
Thank you both!
