Anti seize lube

[Kracken McGraw]

I also generally use a thread lock on the base screws. Have you ever had a base come loose with the anti seize. TKS

I haven’t, they are always as tight as you left them. I believe it was Greyfox on this forum that suggested the anti seize one time and I have came to like it. The thread locker for me has always just seemed to ball up at the top of the threads, and then there’s the old sayin of locktite use as being a gunsmith’s best customer.

If you use anti sieze, remember to treat it like a booger. If you are not careful it will end up on your clothes, on your face, in your hair and possibly behind an ear.

Never use MOLY; unless you want to mimic Al Jolson.

Just a dab of dielectric grease on suppressor threads. Never a issue.

High class here....Harley Davidson wheel bearing grease....

Well, that's gonna break down.

Ya, but it'll still look good.....
This is one of many that never stranded me....both of us from 1947..

Besides, I keep my rifle away from fires so the grease doesn't degrade...

Before I came along my dad had a shop working on motorcycles and sold Indians. The Indian riders motto was "Harley Davidson made of tin, ride em out and push em in"!!

I also use it on thread protectors and scope base screw threads. I know most think thread lock on the base screws, but I’m not a fan.

I've always used purple lock tite. Might try the anti seize next time.

We watched the "Worlds Fastest Indian" the other night. Great movie!

I've used a light rub of Silver colored anti-sieze on barrel threads.
Also on Black Powder nipples, especially on BP Revolvers, otherwise they can be a bear to remove.
The silver colored stuff also works great for spotting in semi inletted replacement rifle stocks, and shotgun butt stocks.

My only problem with anti sieze is it WILL get someplace you don't want it. Bugger to remove.

I apply it on the threads with an old toothbrush, never a mess. I put a barrel on a action this week, very clean the way I do it. A little goes a long way.

I don't think there is anything better than Molykote P37.

I apply it very thin but I use a new toothbrush.

I hate never sieze..it just never goes away!
Use it and keep trying to get it off days later.
Then it always shows back up lol

The way dad talked it started a few scraps. Still got pictures of some flat track bikes he built. Got one of the old racing jerseys. Wouldn't take nothing for it!!

I’ve always been told to use anti seize when threading a barrel on. I’d like to not use it as it’s such a pain to clean off.

Is there a consensus on which lube to use?

I've been using no-ox-id for years. I've had the same little tub for 15+ years. Works great
