Aeroshell Grease – 5ml

Aeroshell 64 grease (grey) – Standard moly grease used by professional armorers and is generally accepted as the best grease for use on the AR-15. It is used for any threaded assembly where a thread locker is not a better fit. Assemblies that have their own locking mechanism such as staking or anti rotation tabs like barrel nuts and castle nuts are the most common application.

The grease component lubricates the threads during assembly allowing you to achieve a “wet torque”. This provides more clamping pressure for a given amount of applied torque. The grease also helps prevent damage to the threads from galling. The molybdenum disulfide additive is a dry lubricant that remains in place even after the liquid component of the grease has dried or baked off from heat and allows for easier disassembly.

A liberal application is typically used and can be brushed on or smeared with your finger. Wipe off excess with a swab or rag. The syringe allows you to apply just the right amount so there is usually very little waste and the small tube can be stretched over several builds.

Aeroshell 64 is also handy for holding small springs in place temporarily and for assisting in driving roll pins.
