Garand Lubrication

In another thread, Mr. Jones asked about cleaning an M1, and M1D warned him not to use too much grease.

Here's a picture of where to put the grease:

This rule-of-thumb may help: oil preserves, but grease lubricates. The type of grease really doesn't seem to matter too much: Lubriplate and Plastilube are highly recommended, and work well.

Good stuff Ben,
I'm a big fan of lubriplate. I get it by the tube at work.
