Thread: DPT Suppressor seized up

I was thinking about the same thing... my issue is whether nickel will lead to galvanic corrosion.

A pure guess would be on molybdenum or Teflon grease to help reduce binding or galling... would probably pay to try it on an aluminium test thread first, but by all accounts they seem to fit the bill in that they are relatively inert with aluminium and not heat sensitive.

I suspect what's happening to people is a mix of things - some mild corrosion due to fouling and moisture, some mechanical binding due to fouling, some mechanical binding due to minute amounts of galling, and some mechanical binding due to heating and cooling allowing the threads to further lock together. Judicious application of heat and cold can often free up a stuck thread... so I'm told
