Permadex Anti-Sieze

[DukeBanger1000]

I am new to the world of black powder revolvers and am busy acquiring the needed supplies to shoot, clean and maintain my new hobby. My list has anti-sieze lubricant on it, for use on the cylinder nipples after cleaning. I have a jar of Pemadex Anti-Sieze sitting in the garage. Am I ok to use this or do I need to buy a product specific to black powder?

That’s what I am using. Mine is in a squeeze tube but same stuff. Just keep it away from the orifice and you’re good to go.

And welcome to the addiction!

I’ve not used any anti sieze products on any part of any muzzle loader for the last half century. Many people want to over think this sport.

I like it and use it all the time after cleaning my revolver nipples. I NEVER had an issue with the stuff - just use a dab of it and don't go overboard applying it to the threads.

Permetex works fine for me.

I bought a very small tube of copper-colored anti-seize at a car parts store several years ago and use it VERY sparingly on the nipple threads, tiny smudge on one side of the threaded sections.
But to be honest, I have used bee’s wax and it works well, but is stiffer.

I use Permatex anti-seize on all of my black powder firearms after cleaning. Never had a nipple get stuck.
