I use the USGI stuff (little container with the yellow cap) you can get a whole box at a funshow for cheap.

FunShow, I have not been to one of those in 20 years, there used to be a great one at the Stratford CT. Armory. I miss it a lot. The state of CT basically banned it from there so theres goes my local FunShow. Someone mentioned here a grease/lube that could be bought from Walmart auto dept. that would be fine for a grease. Only if I could find that link....

Jut grab a copy of Shotgun news. I see CUP GREASE advertised frequently with the Garand parts.

The USGI lube was called Plastilube. I got something thats the same formula called Lubriplate from a GM car dealership.

Valvoline DuraBlend Synthetic Grease, available at most auto parts stores.

If it will do for CV joints, it will do for just about anything.

A tub will last you years.

Can you ship a little to me? I would like to keep it with my M1 Carbine as a originality jesture.
