Came upon an unused can of GI surplus rifle grease in very good condition in that the grease has not broken down in its consistancy if that is even possible.
My questions are first, is the grease best used in the area of the action? Is there better material out in this day and age that using GI grease would be substandard? I am not familiar what application the material had relative to the maintenance and upkeep of military arms. What is used for long term storage of firearms or actually as a lubricant for a smooth action? As you can tell, I am more familiar with modern arms and modern day cleaning agents.
Thanks in advance for your response.
