| So I figured out the copper lube on my new glock is C5-A or an equivalent lube and I was wondering if I could use it to lube my hammer and disconnector inside my lower, or should I use some other type of lube/grease? Are there pros/cons to using C5-A? |

C5-A is actually an anti-seize. I see no benefit to using it on the FCG pins. I’ve used in it aviation for the past 24 years. Some examples are on areas prone to corrosion such as brake caliper components or wheel halve bolts on small private aircraft. tds.loctite.com/tds5/docs/C5-ACBAS-EN.pdf |
Might as well go with the nickle anti-seize from the same source. It's made to be run on hot sections such as HPT groups or combustors. Dont know why it wouldnt work for an AR. At least the nickle wouldnt show as much as the C5A. I use both day in and day out on ( 2500-8000lb thrust class ) turbofan engines. Just a thought.ETA: Personaly, I'll be sticking with breakfree and TW25B. Anti seize is a bitch to get out of your clothes and it will end up in places you never intended.

A practical joke going around at one of the airlines I worked at, was to smear the nickel based anti-seize on the chrome handles of the wall lockers in the break room. With that crap on your hands it was easy to tell who was latest to get nabbed by the pranksters or, who was recently changing igniter plugs!
