Honda automobile dealership service dept. See a tech for an extra packet of the lube that comes in the front brake pad kits.

Been posted on AR15 a few times. One fella said they gave him more than he could ever use. Where in OH are you. I have a couple packets myself.

Yes, ordinary wheel bearing grease "for disk brakes".

Try the Honda dealer there by Germain Toyota?

I'm 12 mile north of I-70/75 interchange.

Ask for "high-temperature bearing grease", or CRC™ brand Moly-Graph Multi-Purpose Grease. Around $3 for a 14 oz. tub, that's enough to last a lifetime for several weapons.

Quoted:
Where are you planning on putting that on an AR?
Only put grease (or Moly Grease) on the trigger mating surfaces. The AR does not need any grease anywhere else.

Is it not advisable to put a small amount of grease on the bolt slide rail surfaces?

I'm removing my old carbine buffer tube to install a mil-spec tube for a Vltor stock.

TM9-1005-319-23 says on page 3-81 to lightly lube the lower receiver threads with Molybendum Disulfide before installing the new tube.

The machine shop at work actually had a small tube they gave me so I'm all set!

Just make sure it doesn't contain graphite, which can cause galvanic corrosion in aluminum and some dissimilar metals.
