| To the people that use grease on there weapons,what type of container do you use to store a small amount of grease that dosent leak when it is in a range bag or how ever you take it to where your going,especially during the summer.if you have a small container that you use please let me know where to get it. Thanks to all that reply. |

I don't take grease to the range. The purpose of grease is that it lasts a long time. I do carry in my range bag a small size container of CLP. If I need any lube I use that. ETA .... Walmart and stores like that have a travel section, where very small travel sized containers are sold. I would check those out and put my grease inside one of those little plastic bottles. |

Containers I've used over the years:
I bought a box of a dozen clear-white Teflon jars from a lab supply house. These were 1 3/4" x 1 3/4" and are proof against most all solvents. They seal air and liquid tight. These are cheap to buy. Check lab supply houses online. Got to a pharmacy and ask to buy a few of the larger diameter pill jars they send out prescription drugs in. These are amber or green plastic and are air and water tight. They come in various sizes, pick the shortest/widest they have. If you're a customer they may just give you a few. Watch your significant other's cosmetic containers. Often they're the perfect size in glass or plastic. |

I've had those go tubes leak in my ruck before. Hard plastic screw top containers are more reliable. Quoted:

REI or Amazon sells little containers called go tubbs. Colors are a little fruity but they work great. I've had those go tubes leak in my ruck before. Hard plastic screw top containers are more reliable. My Go Tube have all been leak proof so far but they don't get tossed around like a ruck would. The Nalgene or comparable bottles/ jars (clear'ish/ milky colored) that you get at The Container Store work very well. I keep alcohol in mine and they have never leaked. I have some little clear containers that I bought off Ebay that range in size from 1oz, 1/2oz and 1/4oz. They were very cheap and do not leak. The bad part is that you have to buy 10-20 at a time but they are cheap. I put Aeroshell and Mobil 28 Grease (trigger grease) in them and gave them to friends. I got stuck with a couple extra tubes of each after a friend canceled on going in with me. |

If you really want a small, compact way to carry grease,
get some of these: http://www.amazon.com/Garand-grease-pieces-NORTHRIDGE-INTERNATIONAL/dp/B00DFAIZJA You can usually find them cheap at gunshows. I have a few lying around the mancave, but never really use them. You can clean out the grease that is in them and fill them with whatever grease you want. |
