What kind of grease to use? Axel or what does everybody use? Thanks Rob

If you go to the search function at the top of the forum and click on search, enter lubricant, you will find enough reading to take you late into the night. Have fun.

I use Lubriplate, from Brownells. The can I got will probably last me forever.

What is that stuff that comes in the little bottles made to fit a butt stock? I see them on GB - anyone know if it is repro junk?

Plastilube, a very good grease for the M1, M14 ect.
I recently located an unopened 1lb GI can. I also have a dozen of the grease pots and will use the can to refill them when needed.

The stuff in the grease pots is Grease, Rifle MiL-G-46003
9150-754-0063 international lube Corp.

Either one of those greases is easily stored in and applied with a fat plastic hypodermic syringe, which will fit in your buttstock.

Stays put, operates over a wide temerature range and 1 tube will last a long, long time.

Lubriplate seems to be the one.

I found a few white papers and essay's (Lee Emerson) saying that Lubriplate 130-A is the correct GI grease to use to lube the M14. Here is a link to one of them. The M14 GI manual also give a GI number to grease too.

I use super lube synthetic grease.

 

[buchkshot]

Me, too. The modern white grease I have used for years turns brown, grey or green and seems to attract rust. Just bought somes tubes of Super Lube and re-lubed my carbines, M1's, Krag, '03's and M1A's. We'll see what happens.

I vote for Lubriplate I've used it for years. It works!

 

[shadowbk7]

lubriplate is good stuff, i use it also

I picked up some Super Lube from Harbor Freight and it seems to hold up well

Re:

Plastilube. I put it on everything, m1,m1a ,ar , 98'k, k-31, o3, o3-a3, yadda yadda yadda. Theyre all happy.

I'm gonna try some Super Lube on a .45 and see how it runs before I take a chance with it on a rifle. It may be fine but Lubriplate and Plastilube are jealous mistresses.

Lubriplate goes on my M14s and 1911. Tried a few other products, including some of the new technology lubricants, but keep coming back to the old standard. It works well and costs little, a combination I like.

 

[Grumbler]

Super lube seems to do the trick.

Greetings,

I've tried many types over the years, but have settled on MilTech (sp) grease for all my gas guns.

Mobile 1 Sythentic in the can or tube is excellent grease that meets all the required specifications and is very inexpensive when compared to others. Buy in automotive supply store. I think a can of it which is around a pint or so is about seven dollars and it is a lifetime supply. I also use on my M1 Garands with excellent results. Different looked at the specs a while back and it met what was needed and then some. Doesn't ticken up in very cold temps or run in hot ones. Lubriplate is nice if you are into vintage greese but there is not need for it.
