I have an M4 set up with a Tango Down vertical grip that I can put an Otis Cleaning kit in with some patches and a small section of a toothbrush.

I also have a VLTOR Mod Stock with 2 storage compartments on each side of the stock that are typically used for battery storage. I have 4 #123 Batteries on one side.

I also hava Magpul MAID grip with the Bolt and Firing pin storage module.

Here is the problem...there's no where to put a bottle of CLP on this system with the current containers offered by several CLP vendors including Break-Free and SP-10.

So.......I found a small squeeze tube of machine oil (3 in 1 Type), emptied it, and injected SP-10 CLP into it. This tube will fit in one of the VLTOR Mod Stock Storage compartments. So now I have a complete cleaning kit on the rifle.

Question...does anyone know if a Small Squeeze Tube is available from any CLP vendors?

I buy one of these Hoppes oilers from the local gun store or Walmart.  Pour the Hoppes oil out, and put my prefered oil in the bottle.

Are you looking for a tube or small bottle.
Break Free has a .68oz. bottle that I refill over and over.
I also use the small 1/4oz. militec sample bottles for my Otis.I have a few I picked up at a 3-gun.
The little nipple top pops out and I refill with FP-10 CLP.
The Rem-oil 1oz. bottle can be refilled also...the top is a little trouble to get off but it does come off.
CorrosionX has a small 1/4oz. tube sample as well.
Look around at gun shows,matches and gun shops.There is always a bunch of sample bottles laying around that can fit what your looking for.

You should be able to find a similar bottle already empty at a craft store like Michaels or AC Moore

Thanks for the replies.

The Otis bottle is too big, as is the .4 OZ bottle of Break Free.

The storage tube on the VLTOR Mod Stock is only big enough to fit 4 #123 Batteries in it end to end. That's why the container needs to be in a tube, or a very small cylindrical bottle.

Not to worrym I have my solutions as do others it appears. i was just trying to find a source that sells CLP commercially in a small tube versus a bottle.
