Anyone else use it on their M1's?

Picked up an old OD green 1lb can of it a few days ago. Made by Texaco in May 1962. I have to say, I might just stick with it from now on. It's very messy, and thick, but it sure slicked up the action on my M1.

I've got a small can of plain ol' grease. Seems to work pretty well, although it seems to get dirty awful fast.

Some guys use USGI wheel bearing multi purpose grease and love it.

Some guys use pink grease. I bet they wear a thong while they park.

hair in the park solution give metal a plumb-colored tint, or so I am told.

My Dad swore by graphite during WWII for his 50 cal M-2

I can honestly see why he liked it so much. :) I don't have a problem with lubriplate, plastilube, etc., as I use both on a regular basis, but there's just something about this graphite grease that really impresses me.
