would people share their opinions on products, particularly for stainless?

Loctite Nickel Anti Seize is the way to go. It is also great for barrel threads.
Expensive, but it works.

cameron, thanks for the reply.
i have heard of loctite 771. is this the same?
i have been using tetra gun grease, but after reading the results of their copper solvent in a test on 6mmbr (no copper removed) i thought to question the lube for this job.

G'Day all,
I use either a good quality heavy duty wheel bearing gease or that nulon 90 pre assembly lube with teflon (i think its called). I know several BR shooters who have put many thousands of rounds throught their rifles with both of these and have heard of no galling of the bolt lugs.

A timely warning for those of you with stainless steel actions. You must use a quality stainless steel anti sieze when screwing in you S/S barrels or you will stuff your action. One precision g/smith has a stuffed Hall action on his wall (as the legend goes) reminding him of the dangers of tight barrel thread and poor lube! I use a product called 'sliver goop" that is dedicated for stainless on stainless contact. It sounds kinda silly and it is expensive at about $70- for a small tube but what price for peace of mind when the alternative is a barrel and action might siezed together.

Loctite 771 is the gear, nickel anti seize, bought mine from Peter Pro-Cal, price seemed very reasonable to be honest, and have had the tube for a couple of years, still probably half full.

Gets used for everything now, anything I want to lube especially things that contains stainless or alloy components on the bearing surfaces.

ned
who makes silver gloop, & where do you get it?
thanks in advance.

Bruce,

Unless you work for a certain Australian International airline you may have great difficulty finding the product

The Loctite product will serve you needs very well, and its available!

G'day all,
My "Silver goop" tube is some years old now and it says it is made by:-

"Crawford Fitting Company"
29500 Solon Rd, Solon OHIO 44139 USA.

The tube says it contains silver
The engineering shop I bought it from has sinced closed its doors and as a little bit goes a long way, at this time I dont need to re-stock my supplies. So I cannot advise where you may find it. You could try looking through engineering shops or marine supplies as they use a lot of stainless and they may have something similar.
