Oh Mark
Do you like white grease for your M1's?? I have a couple to lube before I send them out and I have always heard white lithium although I have used
the Shooters Choice red grease and that worked fine too. This is a 10 oz tube that will last probably for the rest of my life and I think I paid $7.00??

The M1 rifle does require grease, but it's not too particular as to type. Uncle Sam's choice was Lubriplate 130A, which is still produced, although the yellow color which was issued during WWII is now somewhat collectable. At one time Uncle Sam owned and operated 6 million M1s. I don't own quite that many, but I think he knew what product was best to keep them in service and running in top form.
Nevertheless, any good automotive quality grease will work just fine, but I don't care for white colored grease since it doesn't blend well with the finishes on any of my rifles.
After a thorough brainwashing at the Lucas Oil Products booth at one of the SHOT Show's, I began using their X-Tra heavy duty grease, which is a medium green color on my M1s. It works fine and is easily available at any auto parts store. I currently use Lucas Red "N" Tacky grease, which contains an anti-seize compound, with my suppressors and have been pleased with the results.

Here is a long winded post I made on M1 cleaning equipment way back when:

If I didn't bore you to death then, I'll take another run at it!
