Bacon Grease

LOL -- I suppose it would be better than running it dry.

There was a story that went around post WWII that we sent butter to the Soviets; and they greased their tanks with it. True or urban myth? No one knows.

I like the grease with graphite in it. Works on my tractor too.

Lubriplate!

Lubriplate is the official Garand grease. If you want to run down to the auto parts store and get something, Mobil 1 is hard to beat. Not the Mobil 1 oil discussed in 1911 threads, but the tub of red synthetic grease. And if you can't get Mobil 1, any general purpose grease will do. That is one of the virtues of the Garand. The Valvoline the OP posted will work just fine. You will never find the difference.

Lubriplate works exceptionally well on my "op-rod". My wife even agrees to that.

I use Valvaline GP bearing grease. Started using it on my SVT bolt grooves as well.

i have used the bearing grease that came in the little yellow pots, lubriplate, and froglube paste, and haven't noticed a difference with any of them.. I guess none of them would be considered 'cheap'..
