Wrench & Grease?

[Schwag173]

Any recommendations for a particular barrel wrench?

Grease for barrel threads?

I used Brownell's barrel assembly paste and it worked well. Bill Alexander recommends blue loctite instead. I tried the loctite yesterday and it worked fine. The barrel wrench I use is made by Tapco and Midway sells it. No problems so far. I've used it on 3 rifles.

This is the wrench that I use http://www.precisionreflex.com/Detai...86710&CAT=4215 Make sure whatever grease you use does not contain graphite(very bad for aluminium) don't just go by the label check the MSDS.

A recent discussion, in which Bill Alexander recommends Loctite 243 for both the barrel extension and barrel threads. I've used assembly compound I bought at the auto parts store with good results.

As far as barrel wrench I've got the DPMS armorers tool. It does the job but I wouldn't buy another one. The pins for the barrel nut are just a bit off making it a fight to get it on the nut. I had to grind down the thickness to get it on the flash suppressor. Not a quality tool at least the one I have.
