[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1446522, member: 2736"] At first I tried a little gun oil, And it worked ok. Then I tried a small amount of Anti-Seize and this worked very well for many years. Then I did some torque test with different things and found the most consistent results using ARP Ultra torque assembly lube. It is used for engine assembly and is designed for bolt torque accuracy on critical parts like rod and main bearing bolts and head bolts. Using an indicator between the action and barrel the ARP was the most consistent and got the least torque to get the same thread loading. the Anti Seize was the next best thread lube and will work well. The ARP is also temperature rated to over 350o F so it should never break down in use like some products do at operating temperatures. The reason for the torque test was to have consistent thread loading. NOTE: if you torque to standard recommended torques, the use of Anti-Seize or assembly lube the torque setting should be reduced by about 15% to prevent over preloading the threads.
