So I've read a few threads that say to use a "good quality grease", which is great and all, but what counts as that? I've got some White engine assembly lube kicking around in the shop, will that cut it?

It will be fine, im using Lubriplate # 105 , motor assembly grease..
 
Almost any grease will work well. I use regular green automotive grease from Canadian Tire. A 5 or 6 dollar squeeze tube will last you a long time.
 
I'm now using "Permatex Ultra Slick Extreme Sport Synthetic Grease" from canadian tire and it's working just fine. Smells terrible though lol.

That's what I picked up at Cambodian tire as well.

I couldn't find any of the great recommendation's from other experienced M-14 shooter's here to my thread query about low temperature shooting. This grease seems to be good though.

I'm still looking for Lubriplate 105,....I've read somewhere, that CarQuest auto part's is a dealer for it, so I'll check there next.

Lubriplate 130 A is the preferred grease as opposed to the 105. The motor assembly grease is a little thin and is for moderate temperature(150F).-However I am told that wheel bearing grease and run of the mill white lithium grease are fine.
 
X2 on the Lubriplate Litium White Grease. That I learned from a few armorers. But again I found that their opinions in this vary slightly but they seemed to agree that grease should be used on bolt lug/recoil contact points and oils for gliding surfaces. That again was a number of years ago and still use it on my M14 and Garands.

So the 130A is a white lithium grease?

This is what a local auto part's gentleman picked up off his shelf when I asked for a lubriplate, and explained how it was going to be used...guess he did know what I needed. I just left it in my tool box for the truck and car, it just didn't look right.:p
 
I believe the Lubriplate brand 130A is a calcium base grease- but like I said, I have been told that
snowmobile grease, wheel bearing grease and white lithium grease all work OK. The recommendation for the 130 comes from Tony Ben's M14 lubrication guide.
 
Jesus people, it's piece of metal. Just buy the cheapest all purpose grease you can find and slather it on!
I grabbed whatever I could find in the chem. locker at work. I think it might say lithium on the tube and it's grey in colour. Rock and roll! :rockOn:

:agree:
i just squeezed some out of the grease gun i have in my garage into a syringe and use that. 1000+rounds and 0issues
 
I have used vasoline on all my guns for over 30 years. It is cleaner to use, and when it rains, it keeps the gun going.
