I knew there was more than one type, but I didn't know there were so many!
This is the one I got the biggest kick out of-

Nuclear Grade!! Damn!
I ain't gonna nuke no rifle! From what I can gather from all of these posts is that for a normal human being (I know....define normal!?) under common circumstances it may not matter a whole lot what is used as far as grease is concerned as long as something is used.
For reference from the permatex website:
A highly refined blend of aluminum, copper and graphite lubricants. Use during assembly to prevent galling, corrosion and seizing due to weathering or chemicals. Anti-Seize assures easier disassembly. Temperature range: -60°F to 1600°F (-51°C to 871°C). Salt, corrosion and moisture resistant – ideal for marine use. Non-aerosol version meets Mil Spec #907E. Aerosol - Level 3 *NFPA Fire Code 30B
Automotive:
Suggested Applications: For easy removal of spark plugs, cylinder head and exhaust head bolts; apply to anchor pins on brake assemblies, u-bolts and spring bolts, hinges, gears, chain, sprockets and rollers.
Marine:
Suggested Applications: For easy removal of spark plugs, cylinder head and exhaust head bolts.
I'm thinking it will work.
People should keep in mind, what is specified by the military may not be the best technical performer available. Everything is a trade off and technical performance is not the only metric that goes into selecting items for use. Cost, logistical availability, and many more things flow into the decision process. I'm not saying it's the case but it's entirely possible that the aeroshell grease is simply the cheapest and most readily available product that meets the minimum tech spec. For widely used items, the procurement system is specifically designed to shy away from solutions that deliver small increments in performance for high multiples of cost.
I use Dow Corning Molykote G-N. High percentage of molybdenum sulfide and no unwanted stuff. Works great.
Never-Seez Nuclear Grade-- is that better for our application than the Never-Seez Tactical National Match? :-)
Run the black moly on the front most nut threads for tighter groups, and the Nuclear stuff nearest the receiver. You want the grease closest to the end of the barrel to be National Match.
Nuclear Grade! Perfect for those radiological SHTF situations.
Too bad I just used some lithium grease on my rifle. Maybe I should take it apart again and replace with this stuff.
What's really too bad is that you just used plain ol' lithium...... us hardcore gun dudes use Dilithium!
