Hey all- What do you use on your direct thread cans? Do you prep the barrel threads with anti-seize or high temperature grease? I have a titanium can threading onto a 22/45 pistol. If anti-sieze, copper? Nickel? Something else? Bruce "The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams “It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free." -Niccolo Machiavelli The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken | ||

On non moving parts, where taking it off eventually is your concern I’d definitely use a tiny bit of never seize. If I was being anal I’d use the silver as it’s a little more geared toward fine threads, but the heat application is close between the two and at the end of the day it won’t matter either way.

Any concerns with chemical reactions with the titanium? I was reading something about copper being no good. Absent any other information, I was going to use Slip 2000 Extreme Weapons Grease because no Teflon and the temperature rating is very high.

Never seize actually protects titanium threads in most cases. Only concern is using non aluminum-based never seize on aluminum. We used to use anti-seize on titanium parts on the bleach plant of paper mills. Return a year later after continuous use and nothing of note. Eight years to retirement! Just waiting! | |||

I use Spuupressor Syrup. It just works. ____________________________ Eeewwww, don't touch it! Here, poke at it with this stick. | |||

For a .22? I’ve never bothered. There’s just not enough heat or carbon going through them that I’m horribly concerned about it and I’ve never had a .22 can get stuck before. ______________________________________________ "If the truth shall kill them, let them die.” "A man who does not read has no appreciable advantage over a man who cannot read." | |||

just to be a bit contrarian, I have. I always use a bit of antiseize on literally every set of threads involving a suppressor. “So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong, and strike at what is weak.” | |||

Super Lube EP grease is what I use on direct thread hosts. Gem Tech QDA22 4 lug mount if you want to time indexed baffle to multiple hosts. | |||

I happen to like this grease and use this for a number of applications. But this isn't one of them, its pretty low temperature compared to any high temp anti sieze (like 475 versus 2400F). Of course depending on your use case that might not matter, but it wouldn't be my first choice. “So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong, and strike at what is weak.” | |||

I ordered the Permatex nickel anti-seize. Bruce "The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told.

that's a perfectly good choice. And I use it often. But when you get tired of the nickle stuff migrating everywhere (which it does) you might consider this as a good option as its white and doesn't seem to get all over everything near it.
