Anyone know where I can buy Nickel Anti-Seize here in Vegas? I've tried several auto parts stores (O'Reilly, Auto Zone, Pep Boys) and haven't had any luck. Most of the places have standard copper anti-seize, but I'm after nickel. Any help is appreciated.

And why would that be?

For suppressor and compensator use. I've read several places that the copper anti-seize is not a good to use as the nickel for several reasons.

I use a small drop of Slip200EWL, no problems with that.

What is that white grease you gave me?

That's Lubriplate SFL grease. Not made for high temps.

I've tried oil, and it results in my can backing itself off when shooting. I'm told that anti seize magically prevents the can from backing itself off while also preventing freezing up of threads.

Grainger might have some. They seem to have everything else.
Thats where we buy all our shop supplies at work. I think they are on Western.

I have used copper on everything and never an issue. If it works inside a turbine engine, I can't see how a suppressor would get any hotter!

Aside from the heat issue, I've read that issues can arise because of the interactions between the different metals. In the end, you're probably right, though, and I'll never have any issues using copper based.

Than ks again for the help guys. I ended up just ordering it through Amazon prime with free 2nd day air shipping. Now I need to find time to get out and shoot to see how it works.
