copper anti-sieze

[Redclub]

I talked with a lock-tite trainer today and asked him about anti-sieze and showed him what we use it for. I told him I use the copper stick anti-sieze and he stated it is a very good product but don't use it on stainless steel as it corrodes the stainless. On carbon steel it is great.

Your Loctite trainer needs to rethink that:

So far the copper stuff is all I've used and I've had no problems.

Same here and I probably won't change (I have a ton of the stuff) I am just passing along what the person who was in charge of Lock-tite training programs told me. Something about the way the copper is shaved and suspended in the carrier that can affect stainless.

Is anyone still using the Copper anti-sieze for breech plug threads? If so, what brand and have you noticed any affects to the stainless steel?

I used copper but switch over to the Slick 50 One Grease as it's cheaper and you about 10 times more, it's less of a mess (for me anyway), and it does a significantly better job.

Edit: I haven't really been here for a while, someone want to fill me in on why Randy Wakeman is banned? :shock:

Same here, All I use is Slick 50 One Grease. No problems what so ever,and not as messy. I shoot 777 in all my guns,and haven't had a breech plug stick yet!

here I go again being the odd ball - I do not use any type of grease anti seize - I did at one time use both copper and aluminum but I noticed I was shooting it into the barrel and it was hard to get out as it was embedded in the the barrel.

I use stricly tape have been for several years on all of my ML's. I think I have a "THEE" method of taping that works great even for extended shots at the range. One of the three tapes - white/pink/yellow will be the right tape for you breech plug and barrel.

Another positive I think for me is I never have to worry any contamination of the loads with a grease.
