What's a good lubricant for Old Military Rifles? Does grease work, or should I use something else?

Depends on what rifle. Some need grease on the moving parts other need oil.

Any quality oil well protect your fire arm from rust when stored indoors, in a gun safe. You start seeing problems when the gun is stuffed in the back of a dank closet or unheated area.

EEZOX is the best solvent/rust preventive I have used in forty five years of handling fire arms. It is not the best "lubricant" in all cases.

Lubricant can be syn motor oil to designer named gun lubes, pick your poison.

For grease, Tetra gun grease is a high quality. I also use regular usgi rifle grease and Lubriplate 130-AA grease

I clean, use RemOil then place in storeage with a Golden Rod to keep the temperature above the dew point.

He should get a job with Porsche since he knows more than their engineers.

Old military rifles I use lubraplate grease. You can get a pint size can of it in an automotive stores. It was designed for the M-1 Garand. The new generation of synthetic grease at Brownell's is probably
better but more money. I use both but Break free 'LP' is a better than 'CLP' as a preservative.
