Where to buy a good quality gun grease for M14?

I may be wrong (probably am) but I heard that "Lubriplate" brand white (lithium?) grease works well, comes in a big ol' tube and is available at automotive stores.
 
i just stopped in the auto section of walmart while shopping. $3 for a big old tube of wheel bearing grease good to -40.

It doesnt have to be fancy or expensive to work, it just has to work.

Lubricating the M14 Type Rifles.

The only two thing you want to lube with gun oil are the trigger assembly pivot points, and the firing pin.All other lubing should be done with a good quality grease.

You want to grease the following areas:
-Bolt roller
-bolt lugs
-The bolt tracks inside the reciever
-the underside of the bolt
-the nose of the hammer
-Operating Rod track
-Inside the Op Rod "hump"(where the bolt roller fits.HINT a small syringe filled with grease works great for lubing this area).
-Recoil spring guide rod
-Where the Op Rod slides through the op rod guide

DO NOT use any lube/oil on the gas assembly!!!!This is a dry gas system.If you use any type of lube here, powder residue will cake up and plug the gas system.You can use a little bore cleaner to clean the gas system, but them make sure to thoroughly clean afterwards.The inside of the gas cylinder nut and the gas piston need to be cleaned out periodically, or carbon will build up inside them and, causing the rifle to "bark" and cycle harder if left long enough.You can use a 5/16 drill bit TURNED IN YOUR FINGERS to clean out the carbon build up from the inside of the gas piston and gas nut.DO NOT use any drills or the like to clean out the inside of the gas cylinder assembly!!!You do not want to scratch the interior walls of the gas cylinder.I would say the gas system should be cleaned every 400 to 500 rounds.
 
CV joint grease

Just go to any automotive store (eg: Canadian Tire) and ask for CV joint grease. If it will lube CV joints, it will lube anything. Lubriplate is supposed to be good stuff for cold temperatures but too light for other use.
