NFA amnesty Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Hello, anyone know a source where I can purchase a oiler cap with stem for a M3A1. I have the nut and the thread on the bottom of the pistol grip but of course this part is missing. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkhunter Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 I have been looking for 3 years. We will both need to buy complete oilers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got Uzi Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Thats the part which is most easily lost and has to be taken off to get the bottle out of you wanted to. Stem and nuts are always gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFA amnesty Posted January 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) Is this it... https://www.gunpartscorp.com/products/266220No, that is for the M3 grease gun which uses a M-1 carbine oiler. On the M3A1, the oiler bottle is located inside the pistol grip with the top extending out and fastened with a nut. The oiler cap would then screw inside the oiler. However I really appreciate you trying to help me with finding an oiler cap. So far I have struck out but have not given up!

Jeff51 Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 I think I have what you need. It still in a parts kit that I got 20 years ago. You just want the part that unscrews from the handle, right? Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
