Auto parts store will have it. Get a nice lithium based wheel bearing grease. The research has already been done for you in the thread linked below:

What is the commerical equivalent of XG-279?

Here's a more "full bodied" thread along the same lines:

Stocking up Grease

But if you can find some of the old USGI Grease, Rifle as described by Brian Dick, it has a particularly thick consistency, and is generally a nice dark color...not that you will see it very often!
