Bought my first needle oiler, thought it would help lube a bolt or rails when I get to the range and realize I forget to lube up at home. Small in my range bag. I got this little bottle of CLP but the don't like it because you can't squeeze it for more or less oil. Instead you have to wait for gravity to produce a drop, and it's a pretty tiny drop. So it takes more than a moment or two and it's just too fricking slow. Have you used any oilers that aren't ridiculously slow?

I don't necessarily want a needle oiler, I just thought it was the solution to apply some oil where needed and pistol rails, etc. Maybe I need something with a tip but not just a precision tip.

Some of these have a tube that slides up out of the bottle, which makes it work the way you want it to by extending the needle,
 
I went a different route. Works great, as much or as little as I need, oil or grease. Dull the sharp point on sandpaper, concrete, grinding stone, whatever, and you're good to go.
