It'll work, but I'd look for something better.
I use syn Mobil 1 grease(red) from a tube. It was $3-4 bucks at an auto store. |

I shot my Garand in CMP matches before the AR15 became the go to gun for them. Put thousands of rounds through it with no problems. We all used the white lithium used on car brake parts.

ANY NLGI #2 grease will be perfectly adequate for M1 lubrication, Mobil synthetic is very popular.

Here's a good how to on lubing your Garand. Knowing where and how much to apply is as important as knowing what to use.

Been using the same tube of white lithium grease as well as Ed's Red solvent/lube on my firearms for years with no issues.

I've used it a bunch. Only issue with white lithium grease is I think it has a tenancy to harden up quicker than some others. When sitting for a while. I don't really like it for pistols that I might not be using regularly.

Yeah, the white lith grease is GTG, even if it is a bit of overkill. Some of the (much) older guys from the old Service Rifle match days have always used it, and guys in the Vintage Rifle matches use it too.
The key, however, is: after a proper cleaning, don't OVER DO IT with the grease.  I've seen guys put way too much on these rifle and it all starts flying off this way and that when they fire them.
A little, in the correct spots, goes a long way.

Go to Amazon.com and get Lubriplate. It's inexpensive.

I've used white lithium, purple axel bearing grease and some high speed grease by cherry balmz called MA Duece Juice and all worked just fine.

The US Army specified Lubriplate 130 for the M1 Garand and M1 Carbine. You can find it at Brownells and Amazon. It's inexpensive. Why not use the REAL thing?
