Aeroshell and other greases

[rugerla1]

I'll be assembling a 5.56 barrel on an upper receiver this week for the first time. I've heard a lot of good about Aeroshell, but seems that a lot of forums and videos just use lithium grease or just grease period.

 

What do you guys favor?

I just did a build and used this. It doesn't list graphite in the ingredients list. One small tub will last me a lifetime and then some.

I use this... http://www.amazon.com/Mil-Comm-TW25B-Grease-Reclosable-Syringe/dp/B000UTOVX8/ref=pd_sim_200_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=0BXKKW0SGXGACCND8E0W

 

The syringe has a very small tip which allows you to apply a very small amount to a specific location and not waste any or have to spend time cleaning it off all the places it shouldn't be.  It works great.  One syringe should be nearly a lifetime supply.

I have that. It's a handy little sucker.

I used the Aeroshell grease last build. I love the stuff. I bought some of the little 1 oz jars off of eBay...quite handy to keep them stowed here and there.
