I am going to rebarrel my AR for the first time. My question is in reference to the lube you must place on the reciever threads and barrel nut when torquing it down to spec.
Army TM recommends "Molybdenum disulfide"
I have:
E.P. Anti-seize engine assembly lube with moly and graphite.
This is what is says on the back:
Sta-Lube engine assembly lube provides protecytion from scoring, galling and seizing during the installation and assembly of parts.
This specially formulated 12 hydroxy lithium base compound contains molybdenum disulfide, high purity allotropic graphite, tackiness agents, thermosplastic polymers, anti-rust and anti-corrosive agents disperesd in a high viscosity oil.
* Adhears tightly to engine parts
* Helps prevent metal to metal contact
* Cushions close fitting surfaces
* Protects against rust and corrosion
* Will not clog oil passages
* Soft consistency for ease in application
Contains: Mineral Oil (heavy), Lithium Soap, Calcium Dinoyinaphthalene Suflonate, Zinc Dithiophosphate.
Recommended For: Engine, transmission and differential assembly.
Use on: camshaft bearings and lobes, crankshafts, engine bearings, gears, lifters, push rods, valve stems and all areas of rotational or sliding metal to metal contact.
So is this okay to use on an aluminum receiver? I dont want to damage anything since this will be my first time.
Thanks
