loctite on buffer tube assembly?

Anti-seize will allow it to be removed again, just like if you didn't put anything on it in the first place. Anti-seize would be necessary if you kept your AR on a saltwater boat in the harbor. Which I doubt.

Cool, I learned something...any cons? Thanks for all the replies, more comments r welcome

The only spot I would think you would need anti-seize is on the barrell threads. Other then that just slap it all together. No loctite on anything. Your buffer tube shouldn't be loose if you put it together correctly.

Yea don't put anything on the buffer tube. Anti-seize is used on the barrel nut.

Keep an AR wrench in your range bag and give the buffer a little turn if it feels loose. Be careful you don't want to strip out the threads and ruin your lower. If you run an M4 style stock you can stake it in place, there are a few notches for just that reason, but it will be pretty tough to take apart after staking.

I've put blue loctite on rear buffer tube assembly, comes off without to much effort. Another way I've kept the castle nut in place is I bought a GGG agency sling plate

The plate bolts behind the castle nut, holding the castle nut firmly in place.

To the people talking about the castle nut locking the tube in: there is no castle nut on a ubr buffer tube.
