Found this stuff in the shed that I had bought many years ago. Anyone know if it is still good? I know that lubricants generally have an expiration date and this stuff is 50+ years old now. The containers seem fairly airtight though if that matters.
This is the exact stuff. Says "Grease Rifle" on the top. Box shows 1971 manufacture date. Is in cute little 2.5cc containers. Grease smells exactly like an old ammo can, consistency seems ok and smears well, looks yellowing. I'm not sure what it looked like originally.
Worth trying on a garand? How do you know if it lubes well? Usually using Mobile 1, red stuff but would be neat to use grease that is almost as old as the rifle.
Pics aren't mine but almost exactly the same.
