Which needle oiler do you like?

[wahoowad]

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?

Brownells carries Sentry Solutions but they're out.

You can get them from Classic Shaving. I use them for guns, reloading machines, and sewing machines.

A good lube is invaluable in most areas of life.

Most are probably made by the same company.
I have been using the Lucas needle oilers for awhile as they are easy to come by at my local source.

How are you using Hoppes with an oiler?

 

[XLR308]

Same as any other solvent or oil that has a viscosity suitable for the small needle path.
Just a warning some oils are to viscous to be of much use in these applicators.

Probably won't work with Astroglide or KY.

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.

I use a caulking gun for that

That’s what I use and it stores Ed’s Red without leaking….

Just get a syringe and needle. Works well.

Amazon as well. I have needle oilers. The kind that have a tube on the end. The pens for your bag.

Pick up one of these badasses off EBay for your special oil…..

But for the usuals, these guys from Brownells work fine.

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.
