Very good. I can appreciate you looking out for the novices, but how about qualifying your opinions with some facts and/or alternatives?

For instance, I don't hear him saying he IS specifically using a graphite anti-seize, but what do you use? ( I have been using anti-seize paste for several decades and have not heard of this warning about graphite AS being a corrosive for certain metals and/or applications?)

I and sure many others on here would APPRECIATE you taking another look at that video and point out proper or better procedures. All of us have a goal of learning more and learning correctly or at least another way.

While I have most of my life with a gun in my hands going back to 5 when got my first gun, to my teens on the ranch where i wore a gun on my hip when working on the ranch (kill snakes), the military I am nothing but an end user. Not a gunsmith in spite of being a machinist for many years, never got into reloading. None of this precludes an interest but rather its a question of cycles and priorities. So I look to folks on here to provide me with additional knowledge...thanks.

Unless one specifically states differently, when they say "anti-seize" , this means the standard stuff. I have been working aircraft for 28 years, graphite, the main anti gall component in "standard" anti-seize is extremely corrosive to aluminum, magnesium and titanium, google it or look in a scientific encyclopedia. I use a molybdenum base grease, exactly what the Armorer's manual has stated since 1957. Nickel or copper based anti-seize can also be used. Some use standard or extra pressure grease. While this may work, it does not contain the proper anti galling properties and stated in the manual to get a proper torque.

NOT asking you to dog anyone's video, asking you to give us correct information. If I am doing something wrong and you point it out AND show me the correct way, or if I am doing something and there is a better approach or way of doing it, man, that makes you gold and me better.

That is what forums are about, exchange of info so we can all better our selves.

That comment was simply a lancet statement.
Will get an excerpt posted shortly from the armorer's manual for barrel install.
The Armalite Tech Notes state "anti-seize".........make damn sure it does not contain graphite.

Interesting:

I grew up being taught to NOT use graphite on anything except key locks and we always had a tube of the stuff laying around for that. Living on ranch and having tractors, trucks and all kinds of stuff much of it with high weather exposure. So we were always repairing something, but did not use graphite for anything but key locks. We used a lot of motor oil and wheel bearing grease on stuff and of course Gun Oil on our guns...
