Loctite Loctite C5A Anti-Sieze Lubricant - 4 Oz. Brush Top Can
The Loctite C5A Anti-Seize Lubricant is a copper-based barrel thread compound trusted by professional gunsmiths and serious shooters who need reliable protection against seized and galled threads. Whether you're building a rifle, doing a barrel installation, or performing routine maintenance on firearms and equipment, this anti-seize lubricant creates a high-temperature barrier that keeps threaded connections from freezing solid under heat and pressure.
The 4 oz brush-top can makes application straightforward—brush it directly onto barrel threads, muzzle devices, action screws, and any other mating parts where heat, vibration, or corrosion could cause seizing. The high copper content works on all common firearm materials: steel alloys (including stainless), brass, cast iron, and copper. It meets military specification MIL-PRF-907, so it's formulated to perform in demanding conditions. For range sessions and field work, the brush applicator lets you coat threads evenly without mess.
Keep a can at your bench for builds and repairs, and grab a tube for your range box if you need a compact supply. This is the compound gunsmiths reach for when reassembly must stay tight and corrosion-free, even after years in the safe or in the field.
