    Oil tube for SOPMOD stock

    Has anyone found a good dropper type oil dispenser that fits in there?

    I have seen the M1 oiler, but wanted to see if there was anything else out there.

    Thanks

    I removed the cap and cut the needle down a bit on one of the Weapon Shield needle oilers and it fit perfectly in the SOPMOD.

    I put two samples of Machine Gunners lube I got included in an order from Larue. I put a little paper in the from to keep them from rattling around.

    No, they are alot bigger. Someone needs to make one shot "pills" enough for a one time lube of the weapon. Like a big fish oil pill

    No. I was talking about the 3ml samples of MGL they send with your orders to get you to buy the bigger bottle. You can get at least 3 and maybe four of those samples in one tube on the SOPMOD. I only put two in mine because that is all I have after using the other before thinking of putting them in the tube. They are about the perfect circumference. Anything bigger would not fit. One bottle will get the bolt lubed up very wet.

    If you are placing an order with LT, you could ask them to throw 4 or 5 of those samples in and they probably would do it for you.

    It would be nice if like Mark5.56 said sold an extended tube of the lube so so much room is not taken up by multiple caps.

    I just got an order from LaRue a few weeks ago and there wasn't any lube samples...

    I would like to find an eye dropper or squeeze type bottle that would fit in there and not take up all the space.

    I don't want to hijack, but I like the idea of carrying an oiler on my rifle (now that I think of it, my M1 Carbine and Springfield M1A have always had these, though I've never used them).

    I've got a CCA stock saddle with battery compartments on either side. Is the compartment in the SOPMOD stock also about the diameter of a AA battery? I figure an M1 Carbine oiler would fit, too.

    I've also got a MagPul MIAD, and I wonder if one of the short and fat 1/2oz bottles would fit in there, or an M14 oiler?

    I've got to figure this out...

    Regarding the oil bottle with the needle, thanks for the reply. I am looking for something smaller so I can put some other stuff in there.

    Regarding the ID of the SOPMOD tube it is the size of the cr123's but slightly larger so they will not get stuck in there.
