The other day while shooting the Walker I had an idea.
After shooting and lubing with grease(using my fingers) I pretty much had that slimy stuff all over me, the gun, and the bench.
I thought about a way to apply the grease/lube to the chamber mouths without
1.) getting it all over everything(Mostly my fingers)
and
2.) prevent wasting so much of it. Seems like a lot of it was wasted on the face of the cylinder.
So.......
Went to Wal-mart and grabbed a cheap-o cooking/meat syringe with the big fat metal needle for injecting meat with spice/marinade. Cost = $5.00
Cut off the sharp tip of the needle and smoothed the cut with a small file.
Also bought a cheap-o measuring cup. Microwaved some lube in it until the lube was liquid. Poured it in to meat syringe. Allow to cool. Presto! Now I can easily apply lube to the chamber mouths with little to no waste and its a lot neater and less waste of lube.
NOTE: be sure to plug the needle tip before you pour in the hot lube as it will run out of the needle.
