Putting together a grendel.... What do I treat the threads with on the FH and barrel nut? Anti-seize? and the Troy gas block with set screws....do they just lock down or do I dimple the barrel with a drill bit or punch so the screws have spots to grab? |

Barrel nut = lithium grease
Flash hider = nothing special, just clean the threads before installing the flash hider. Are you using a crush washer or peel washer for the FH? |

Lithium, moly as long as no graphite it should be good.
I bought a small tub of moly grease. After 10 or so builds i still have plenty left. |

15 to 20 ft pounds of torque is plenty.
Make sure you time it if it needs to be timed |
