Or solvent? In my range bag?
Well, I'll tell you... I have a phobia about all kinds of leakages. Roof. Radiator. Box of wine. Personal 4th point of contact. Other people's 4th point of contact. Commuter mug. And solvent from a container of gun cleaner is another.
Anyone know a full proof tiny container (spark plug size) I could add to a cleaning kit? One I can trust more than I can trust myself after eating a sleeve of those fat-free Pringles with Olestra or whatever? Leak proof. Nigh unbreakable.
(Something about the lil bottle with the HK cleaning kit or the M14 cleaning kit... I just don't trust them. They seem too fragile and flimsy. Like they were produced by the lowest bidder.)

ReplyDeleteI keep a bottle of FP-10 in a ziploc bag. It's worked fine so far. Also an aerosol can of Strike Hold.
ReplyDeleteI have a sealed canister that held nicotine gum my brother gave me.
ReplyDeleteBreak-free makes a pin-style applicator.
ReplyDeleteOr you could talk to a doc you know and get a syringe with a cap. Fill it with light oil.
You could do the 'belt and suspenders' thing and get a small dropper bottle and store that inside a prescription pill bottle with a locking cap.
ReplyDeleteThe Wilson's red crap in a syringe has never leaked. . . but it's more of a grease than an oil.
ReplyDeleteMy tiny BreakFree bottles have never leaked on me, as long as I remembered to snap the cap fully closed. Neither did the CLP bottles in my GI cleaning kits.
You could also find a screw top camping cannister large enough to hold a bottle of the super lube of your choice.
Surplus Russian Oilers. Made of Metal. Or the Oiler that came with the M1 Carbine to hold the Sling in place.
ReplyDeleteLee-Enfield oilers are also really, really, leakproof, especially the brass ones. Just make sure the washer (polymer or leather) is in decent shape.
ReplyDeleteI also like the FP-10...never had a leak. My range bag has a holder on the outside for a water bottle or some such, so I usually drop it in there. If it were to leak, it's be outside the bag.
ReplyDeleteThose cheap bottles that come in the butt-stock AR cleaning kits are remarkably leak proof.
ReplyDeleteGoing on decades with a couple with nary a drop spilled.
