I'm having a hard time finding the moly fortified grease for the barrel nut. Is there another type or manufacturer that can be used without causing damage to anything?

I went to Walmart and just bought some SuperTech mutli duti grease. Did the trick for my barrel nut.

most grease will work,  the idea is to avoid galling the threads.  moly grease will say it somewhere on the can

"Moly" is short for molybdenum disulfied. Aeroshell 17 is such a grease if you have an airport near you you could get a tube or maybe a film canister full for next to nothing. Ask an aircraft mechanic. It's used on high pressure/ extreme pressure applications.

I use a small tube of assembly lube bought at our local Auto Zone store.
It is intended to 'super-lube' an engine during assembly, does great on
the AR. Think the tube cost me about $5 and so far has assembled 4
rifles (not counting barrel changes etc) and I have most of it left.

17 also fit the bill, but it is NLA

Thank you for all the great input. I think I'll use the yama-lube stuff. I've had good luck with all products from yamaha with building my Banshees.
