[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 1687446, member: 91783"] The 3 torques allow the threads to seat in to the nut and receiver for a better mating and nickel based anti-sieze is good to use on S.S. and aluminum . I don't dry torque any thing unless that is what is specified as the drag of non lubed threads gives you a higher torque reading and won't be as consistent of a reading .Some materials will gauld to each other and pull metal from each other or bind up completely if not lubed . I like to true and lap my upper receiver then use a gap filling loc-tite compound when fitting the barrel . I will use as stable of an upper receiver as I can as I'm not in a combat zone I don't need a forward assist so I like that area to be solid giving me a stronger upper receiver . I also like to put a band on the back of my bolt carrier so that I don't get bolt drop and miss alignment giving it .020 to .030 clearance some now come with bigger bolt carriers for this . There are now some very good triggers around for AR style rifles .They make a nice little rubber wedge called an accu-wedge that fits in the rear take down pin area and keeps the upper and lower receivers fitting tighter together. An AR build is a lot like a bolt gun build you can get quite involved as well as spend as much money as you want . There are a lot of good AR's being made today . They have come a long way since the early 60's and the gun of the Vietnam era M-16. [/QUOTE]
