lube

I like to watch firearm restoration videos. I've been noticing lately they have been putting some yellow colored grease on the heavy springs, do you guys know what they're using

Probably Lubriplate which was developed in WWII or the browner stuff in the little pots they used in Vietnam. I up grease on every part that slides. It also dampens the springs "twang" sound so I always put a small dab on my AR-15's recoil spring in the stock to quiet it.

I might have missed it but I didn't see Lubriplate 130-A. That is the mil spec grease developed for Garands and still an excellent firearm grease. I a sure there is a new uber special grease made from snake oil but since you can buy a one pound lifetime supply of lubriplate for $10-15 the question is why would you bother.

Agreed.
