Gunsmithing AI Barrel Swap

[cletuskasady]

What can I use to coat the threads when replacing an AI barrel?

Did a search that mentioned "blue loctite" but just wanted to confirm.

thanks, Joe

IAW with the Accuracy International AW series maintenance manual, barrel removal-replacement:

6.21.15: Before refitting the barrel, lightly oil the threaded portion of the barrel with a fine oil.

I use an assembly lube but a good light oil works just fine, NO loctite.

If you have any questions or need the AI barrel removal/changing instructions let me know.

Oh Damn, and I used red loctite!

Just kidding! Stacey has the right answer, or a dab of Mobile 1 motor oil.
