For threaded things which you might wish to remove in the far future, such as blow-out screws in bolsters, gun screws in general, nipples and such like, a drop of well shaken milk of magnesia is as good as it gets and costs nearly nothing.

Been away for awhile so I have a bit of catching up to do but found this little tidbit of info interesting, mostly because many, many years ago I was in the USAF as a jet engine tech, and we used Milk of Magnesia as an "approved" antisieze alternative on jet engine case bolts. Actually works really well. Wes

Milking a magnesia is dead easy.  Catching and shaking one is a fool's job as it can involve broken bones and bleeding.   Bull magnesia are very protective and the cows are no slouches either.  Even the calves have horns and sharp teeth.  

 I've never actually seen a live magnesia, although I have heard trustworthy accounts of sightings from several people who know of those who have.  It is reported that seeing a magnesia requires glasses.  Usually three or four will suffice.  From these accounts, magnesia are usually accompanied by small herds of multi hued pachyderms.  

There have been reported unverified sightings of semi-domesticated wooly magnesia in remote regions of the Himilayas.  Again, it is thought that multiple glasses were most likely involved.
