I picked up a few of these to try out. http://www.joann.com/darice-needle-...prefn1=prod_type&sz=90&prefv1=Product&start=1
I have been using these for years for small projects, should have mentioned that here before. I had some left over from when I took allergy shots years ago. I run the point over a little fine sandpaper so I don't accidentally poke myself. Using this will also let you put a very small T-25 grease line down the slide groves and a small dot anywhere you want it. Things we don't think about it, we just do it.
because they are buna rubber.
Oil/chemical dispensers need viton orings to resist swelling. They are made in different durometers (hardness) for different applications. Buna Orings is what caused the Challenger disaster if I remember right. They couldn't take the temp extremes.
This is what I have:

I have a dozen or so of them. Some vendors gave them away as a little perk.
Great. My gun going to explode.
Orings in guns have to be viton. Rem 1100 comes to mind.
Found these at my local ACE hardware, they would work well for grease. http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3055872
Since these came from a farm and ranch department, I had hoped they it would be a tougher as well as having a large gauge.
Never thought about the rubber being the biggest issue.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Have been looking for the lucas oil dispensers that appear to have a very small needle opening. That's what I want. Have seen a few online but seemed stupid paying shipping that cost more than the product. So what do I do? Spend more than shipping on something that won't work. HA!

Rickm is using the same ones I'm using. Small, and get to some really tight spots.
