It does not burn off including M4 applications, atays wet (critical to M4 Applications) and it doesn't freeze unless it's 40 below zero. You don't need much. I could lube at least 5 M4's with the little tube.

    Now the downside...It's a great lube and a good protectant, but not a good cleaner. I still to this day have only found one "Jack of all trades and Master of none", and that's CLP. Ideally, if you could use a small LaRue bottle with CLP in it and another with Machine Gunners Lube...you're good to go. I just don't know if the tiny MGL bottle is refillable. I need to go check.
    LaRue uses a 1-way diaphram in the tip to keep you from re-filling them with inferior product.

    Seriosly though, lol. Squirt the LT lube into a different container, immerse the tip of the small bottle in a container of CLP, squeeze and release. Tilt it up to raise the bubble to the tip. Squeeze all the air out but stop before lube comes out. Hold it. Submerge nozzle in CLP, release. You now have a small LT bottle full of CLP (or whatever else).

    I have looked at all kinds of bottles in stores and online and most of them are too big to fit inside the SOPMOD tubes.

    I did see at an arts and crafts store small squeeze tubes with replaceable caps that had sparkly paint in them that might fit.

    I just got my rifle and am still getting stuff for it so right now all I have is a pair of 123 batteries in each tube. To keep them from rattling I stuck a removable plastic collar stay from a dress shirt in each one and it keeps them from rattling. They come in different lengths depending on the collar and have a tapered end that fits in the hole of the cap.

    Do you have a VFG? More room in the TD than the SOPMOD tubes and its airtight incase of a leak.

    I found a bottle today but it does not fit in the SOPMOD tube, it fits inside the Magpul grip.

    I was out walking the dog and I saw a small squirt bottle on the side of the road. It was still sealed but it has been raining here so most of the label came off. From what was left of the label it is some kind of liquid sour candy. The bottle is shaped like a Visine bottle, but much smaller. It is a heavy gauge plastic and has a removable dropper tip so it is easy to fill.

    The only thing I have in my Magpul grip right now is a front sight tool and fits in fine with that and does not rattle. I think all I am going to carry in my grip is a couple batteries for my Elcan so I think I found a solution.
