do you lube the barrel and nut when installing a new barrel onto an upper and what do you use.

light lube on the extension itself... i usually lube it then wipe it off with a paper towel and call it good. Then you lube the threads of the upper receiver and do NOT wipe it off before installing the barrel nut.

use moly grease/wheel bearing grease. http://www.google.com/#q=moly+grease&hl=en&prmd=ivns&source=univ&tbm=shop&tbo=u&sa=X&ei=REqiTaS3JoL30gGCu9T7BA&ved=0CCYQrQQ&biw=1280&bih=556&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=3152f48d8563059a

the higher moly content the better.
