Will plain simple lithium wheel bearing grease do the trick?
Do you change anything for stainless barrels?
Have you taken apart anything many years old that you built and had any issues getting it apart? I mean due to lube. I honestly haven't read anything about the schools of thought other than someone said copper AS could have a galvanic reaction. My BCM built stainless upper looks like it has some sort of brownish (copper?) lube... not sure what they use... It's not grey or white though, that's for sure. I thought a main purpose of copper AS was to prevent galvanic reactions.
Agree with the Geissele Reaction Rod - it is pricey, but guarantees you will not ruin the parts you just purchased.
- Ive often wondered if putting torque on the feed ramps/locking lug area, could cause any problems, but I think the metal of the geissele is softer?? - any thoughts 556BlackRifle?
Brownells sells a version for 308 and the 556 upper. I have not tried it yet but brownells is a place for gunsmiths to buy tools
Its a brownells brand

That tool is actually worse than the Reaction Rod if you use it the way the instructions tell you to. The Brownells tool as it is, is not long enough to be clamped in a vise. It is made to be attached to a torque wrench.
This tool actually came out before the Reaction Rod and the way the instructions read everyone avoided it because of the pure ridiculousness of the whole thing.
