That is interesting Fred. That is a product I hardly ever see anymore. I like anti-seize type products but they are a mess and often require extra cleaning on the exterior of the barreled action. Something is better than nothing for sure. I use Anti seize or mineral oil(3 in 1.)

The 400 series of stainless does not gall like the 300 series does. Feel for burrs. Clean your threads with a wire brush(not the kind on a drill or grinder) clean the threads in the action too and you should not have a problem. With lubricated threads and faces it is easy to get the torque up there without having to be a brute.
