Where can one find a small syringe for gease that so many are talking about.
I've gone to Crappy Tire and they don't have any... Where did you get yours?

Thanks.

Any Drug Store..........

Hungry here: Early in my competitive shooting career, I used to buy my syringes from the drug store's baby section. They have plastic syringes for the purpose of injecting small amounts of medicine (cough syrups) into infants. Plastic tip is perfect for greasing your M1 and M14's. Hey, come to think of it, I've been greasing my AR15 bolts lugs, just out of habit.

:D

Pick a drugstore in a good part of town to do this.

The last time I tried to buy one from a drugstore they wanted me to buy a whole box. I said no, I only wanted one please.

Hungry here: My wife is a nurse manager and after asking her for some spent syringes, I got the goofiest look. She told me that she ain't in a position to risk her life by retrieving any used syringes from the Biohazardous Waste bucket in the Nursing Station. yuk, yuk. Shows you how much I know about safe nursing practice. ha ha ha

They figured I was a druggy and wouldn't sell me any. I had to go to another store.

Aha, we discuss this one in my M14 Clinic video.

Head over to Lee Valley Tools or a catalogue on-line will do the job.

Turn/klik over to the "GLUE Section" and find the glue syringes. They come in straight and curved tip. Choose the curved tip since it is easily able to grease the hammer face when your Super Match M1A is glass bedded into it's stock for the entire shooting season.

I had to order about 10 or 15 since the minimum order (on-line) was $ 20 IIRC. So the syringe really cost inside a buck, but taxes and shipping sent the price up. So I was happy to recover $ 2.00 apiece for each syringe. So head over to your local Lee Valley Tools website.

Or you can visit your local dentist. After my son had his wisdom teeth extracted the dental staff gave him a pile of gauze and a curved tip syringe to clean out the gum cavity with saline solution.

Needless to say, I grabbed it and filled it full of Cambodian Tire Wheel Bearing Grease for $ 2.99 a huge tube. That tube is still around after 15 years.

What kind of grease ? Any grease... the cheapest... as far as I'm concerned.

Some CGNutters like the white lithium grease since it is visible where it's applied. Peace of mind.

Other CGNutters like exotic and expensive greases... frankly, this does nothing to help your scores... Remember that I'm a service rifle shooter (background), and that's my bias.

At my last clinic in 2004, I sold the syringes for $ 2.00 and another CGNutter brought a cylinder of lithium grease. He was giving out the grease for GOOD KARMA. You just had to stuff the lithium grease into your new syringe with a popsicle stick.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Barney

I have some in stock that fit on the Militec bottles.

Another good place to go to is a Farm Feed Store. They usually have a great selection.
 
....Another source, are the syringes used to refill "Printer Cartridges" .... they are somewhat larger,and don't have much of a point on them. .... David K.
 
Try your Dental office..........the "Irrigation syringes" (no needle) have a nice curved tip which fits into nooks and crannys better:)
My Dentist used to give them to me for FREE;)
 
x2 on the printer refill kits, I remembered I had 2 laying around, took out the syringes and they work great, mine came with nozzle/tips whatever you call them.
