Montana Extreme seems to work the best of the stuff I have seen.

Short Answer: automotive anti-seize lubricant

Long Answer: Contact your preferred vendor and find out which specific anti-seize compound they recommend for the two specific metals involved.

automotive anti seize

This is what I use as well. Bought it several years ago to assemble an upper, use it for suppressors and shotgun choke tubes as well.

I think you emailed me last night. I'll repost the answer here

You don't really need to lubricate the threads exactly, although anti-seize is more appropriate. We ship them with a little bit of copper-colored anti-seize compound to help the initial thread break-in on the rifle. Normally once the suppressor is used initially on a rifle and installed/removed a half dozen times and 20 rounds, the threads are broken in and seated and no subsequent anti-seize is needed.

If you want use some of that, you can use automotive anti-seize similar to this

Just a tiny amount.

If you do put any on the threads, make sure no sand or dirt or grit gets stuck to the compound.

^ phew, I thought I was doing something wrong by not using any thread lube

Actually any lube or oil is fine for the common slightly loose joining specs of a can and host threads. If you have a tight fit between them then the anti-seize varities work well including the mil spec tw-25 white lithium grease.
