Woohoo! Awesome. You will enjoy this I’m sure and shooting what your two hands built will be satisfying. Then you will want to do it again.

I use never-seize on the threads of the upper for the barrel nut as well as a light coat on the barrel hood where it goes into the upper. That’s all the “lube” I use for assembly. Before I shoot it, I will liberally oil the BCG and a little on the charging handle where the bolt slides. That’s about it.

I believe molly grease is what is recommended for the barrel nut. Other manufacturers have said anti-seize which is available at auto parts store. You don’t need much. A small tube would probably work for a dozen builds. That is the only spot that requires lube. Maybe some oil on the trigger pins, also I put a drop of heavy oil in the moving parts of the trigger group.

Lube points from AR15.com

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.
