Cleaning Brushes and Nalgene Bottles

[C4IGrant]

I take a lot of training classes and am constantly trying to find ways to minimize all the gear I have with me. I buy most cleaning solvents and lubes in bulk as they don't go bad and I use a lot of the stuff. The down side to this is that I don't want to lug a 32-64oz bottle with me (and it won't fit on my cleaning case).

Needing only to carry about 1oz of cleaning solutions and lube, I began looking for a bottle that would withstand solvents, not leak and didn't cost a lot of money. This lead me to the Nalgene bottle listed below.

They are a perfect size, attached cap, always dispenses just one drop at a time, and you can remove the cap with one hand. The captive spout cap stays in place when bottle is squeezed, and will not pop out or leak. One drop equals 45-50 micro-liters.

The next thing that I was wanting to find is a small angled brush with Nylon or Bronze bristles that I could use to get into those tight place to remove carbon. Again, wanting something small and fairly prices. I think I have found a good fit with these brushes.

They work very well at getting into the tight corners of your upper receiver, handguns or Ruger 10/22's. ;)

Interesting. Any chance of you re-taking the pics with something in them to indicate scale? Maybe a quarter, or 5.56 round, or something familiar like that.

Grant-
I can see it now. If you post those pix on TOS, someone's going to complain about the "Fit and Finish" of the lettering on those brush handles.

I use 1L and .5L yuppy canteen Nalgenes to keep gun lube where I want it. Beats throwing away bottles just because some mix sat in them for a few months under the seat of the car and spawned a new life form :D

The bench gets an old-school oil can from lowes but otherwise it's finger in the lube and lube on the whatever.
