    I put it up here for the sake of nominating it for "sticky" qualification.

    Lubed

    I find it interesting that in Basic Training my M1icon ran best bone dry. I qualified Expert with it that way.

    Lubriplate in the tupe

    This tube of lubriplate (Newark NJ) is old, before the zip code was used !

    Grease

    As a future GCAicon article will discuss, I'm guessing the first lube was NOT Lubriplate, it was Stano-Rust. Early docs describe the grease as "graphite-based" and Lubriplate has no graphite, Stano does. I have a tube of it.
