[QUOTE="JeffVN, post: 903911, member: 2261"] +1 a copper based anit-seize for the threads. I had a polished barrel that made me nuts on a 7 Dakota. I had forgotten to tell the smith who chambered the barrel to either bead blast it or to paint it black to match the action on the rifle. I didn't want to send it out, and planned to paint it black. In any event, I needed to prep the barrel in order to paint it. I took some OOOO steel wool and spent about 15 minutes knocking the shine off of the barrel from stem to stern. It is not as pretty as bead blasting, but it certainly isn't a polished barrel at this point. Ultimately I left it as is - not as dull as bead blasting, but looks just fine for my purposes.
