Garand lubrication

[jona710]

Hey there, before you all say It I did read the garand sticky.

I'm wondering what you all use on your garand for grease/lube and how often you lubricate it.

I just ordered one!

 

[Garand]

Super Lube, been using it since '79 and had good results during shooting in all types of inclement weather.

 

[Irons78]

Permatex synthetic grease from Canadian Tire. When the grease looks like it's been worn off, I reapply (maybe after every 2nd or 3rd outing).

Grease it's grease, any kind of grease will do the job. LOL

White lithium grease.

I use the red fishing reel grease.

 

[RifleDude]

Synthetic wheel bearing grease from CT. A tube will last a lifetime. Used a spent .45ACP case filled with grease to lubricate your bolt roller bearing.

If you don't grease your M1 Garand, your #### will fall off!

OK, I'm gonna ask what that means ? Every thing I've read says grease is imperative for proper functioning, I've been using the white assembly lithium I happened to have on hand.

Not the case sir! I work in aviation and I use 4 or 5 different greases on some of our aircraft for different areas/applications. - maybe firearms are different but I'm accustomed to using the right product/tool for the right job.



Those who use white lithium do you use the spray cans or the tubes/tubs?

 

[FALover]

Any heavy grease will suffice. I have used Super Lube, chassis lube and right now I have a tube of Krazy Grease in my grease gun. Any part that moves gets lubed.

Exactly, a garand rifle is not an F18

A thin film of any grease will do the job.

lubriplate the original was made to lube Garand's From my searching todays 130 aa is the same. That said any grease in a pinch will work. most use a high pressure type grease.
What you want is a grease that sticks and doesn't fly off (usually into your face smearing your glasses etc)

Do you know where you get it?

 

[wce323078]

I had to go to local auto supply store and got it ordered in. The normal lubriplate works just as well. easier to find.

Bacon Grease + a dash of Liberal Tears. Best general purpose lube ever, in the gunroom and in the bedroom.

With Garands where there is metal on metal, it gets grease. Don't forget the Op Rod Spring. CT high-pressure green grease works just fine.
