I use oil. I clean the tubes after each shoot and have never had a problem.

Oh my... guess what I found in my AR tool box. A jar of Aeroshell 33MS and a bottle of Locktite LB8008 C5-A. I guess I had some greases after all.

I'm an odd duck but I use plumbers teflon tape and have been happy with it. Tubes stay in place and no oily or greasy mess. Just my thought. Grade6man

I’ve been doing this myself for years. Some of my guns don’t need it, others loosen up after just a few shots. For those, I’ll put one wrap, pulled tight and pressed into the threads before it goes in. Works great.

I’ve never used a locktite product on choke tubes. So sorry, can’t help with that. I’ve only used various grease, oil, and occasionally tape. I think grease is probably my number one choice for chokes.
