sketch Posted May 25, 2016 Report Posted May 25, 2016 Local gunsmith wont tell but I found his supplier at my local hardware store. I was wondering what white lithium grease i should use on my barrel nut? Well i found a synthetic that has a higher temp rating than the white, and hwstore says thats what he buys? Thoughts?
shepp Posted May 25, 2016 Report Posted May 25, 2016 It was 85 and humid today, how much nut grease do you want??
blue109 Posted May 25, 2016 Report Posted May 25, 2016 Your tube of SUPER LUBE has a rainbow on it. What sort of "hardware" store have you been shopping at?
sketch Posted May 25, 2016 Author Report Posted May 25, 2016 Higher temp rating !! No gerkin destruction! Seriously though?
MikedaddyH Posted May 25, 2016 Report Posted May 25, 2016 I have a can of white lithium grease that I got in 1985, built four engines and still have a quarter can left. It will last forever.

82HALO Posted May 25, 2016 Report Posted May 25, 2016 Yeah that stuff has Teflon in it, I use it around the house, but, not on my weapons! I'm kind of partial to Royal Purple for my builds!

Robocop1051 Posted May 25, 2016 Report Posted May 25, 2016 Stfu... sketch, we all know you saw the flag on the front and your pride shown brighter than that sequin dress you wear on the weekends. You don't need to make up numbers to hide the facts. Get out of that closet brother. Shepp and Blue are right behind you.... figuratively and possibly physically. You prideful bastards don't have to be ashamed of the lube or why you bought it.

mrmackc Posted May 27, 2016 Report Posted May 27, 2016 Use plain old Lubriplate 115... guaranteed to not slip, slide or sling gravel !
GRA Posted June 3, 2016 Report Posted June 3, 2016 I've always used the AeroShell 33. From what I understand the main thing is to avoid any grease that has a petroleum/sulfur content.
Rsquared Posted June 7, 2016 Report Posted June 7, 2016 I've said before, but I use a copper-based anti-seize compound on mine. Haven't had any problems so far.
sketch Posted June 7, 2016 Author Report Posted June 7, 2016 As expected silly ness will rere! We shot the pig ! He greased the nut i torqued it down. The brass was at 5 o clock in a nice pile!! Game on and thanks for the reply brothers!
SteveinUT Posted August 29, 2016 Report Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) For what it's worth, I was taught in the military to use the molybdenum-disulphide grease (relabeled Aero 33) when assembling the barrel to the upper, because it lacked graphite. Apparently graphite content can cause corrosion in aluminum. I just use a moly grease I found at my local auto parts place that doesn't have graphite for my personal rifles, and have never had an issue. Edited August 29, 2016 by SteveinUT
survivalshop Posted August 29, 2016 Report Posted August 29, 2016 Ok all you guys/gal's have good products worth trying , but how many of you have taken a Barrel Nut off after it had been on for over twenty years , using one of these products ? Yes I have & the Nut came off just as easy as if I had put it on the day before & the product was Mil Spec grease , so I can say with out a doubt , it worked for an extended period of time . Just saying .
sketch Posted August 30, 2016 Author Report Posted August 30, 2016 Thanks SS!! Your knowledge and experience is priceless!
