So what is in your hollow grip?

[KevininPa]

No problem Doc. Most fun we had all day!

 

[someguy2800]

I wouldn't worry about it, mine gets wet all the time. The muzzle I mean.

Mostly a copy of my NFA paperwork ... Most of my p/g's are Magpul or other brands with a door or plug that locks in.

I keep a file in the truck that has a copy of of all my form 1's and 4's as well as a digital copy on my phone but I don't always have my phone or take my truck ... Usually but not always.

I've never been asked to produce my paperwork, and I know that unless the officer asking is a treasury agent I don't have to show it because technically it's a tax document (i.e. tax stamp) so a regular cop, Sherriff etc doesn't have the authority to demand it, but they can make life complicated if you don't have it.

I carry spare air in mine.

I have one of these in the PG of one of my AR's:

I didn't pay anywhere near that amount. At the same time, I have never needed to use it. As a result, it might just be empty weight, and I might be better served carrying air.

Ear plugs is a GREAT idea.

I have thought about something like that also only a bit less "multi". Castle nut wrench doesn't look practical and should not be needed anyway for field use along with some of the wrench sizes.

I've got a stock grip, so no storage space. If I did, perhaps an "oops kit", i.e., springs, pins, etc. might find a home there. I've got such a kit from Anderson that would fit nicely.

 

[doubleh]

You guys are not getting off that easy. What kind of air?

Ocean, mountain, desert, great plains, country with pollen, urban with smog? If mountain air what mountain and at what elevation? Or maybe restaurant air with the smell of bbq?

Southern plains, not desert but pretty dry. 3963' elev. when at home.

 

[Speedo66]

I was born, raised, and worked in NYC all my life 'till I left in 2015. I don't trust any air I can't see.

 

[Bobson]

Lube in my AR pistol grip.

 

[NIGHTLORD40K]

Currently I keep a hole there. Unfortunately not one of the Tex Avery portable and reusable ones.

I have standard A2 grips and am considering one of the rubber stopper type plugs. I am sorta leaning to carrying the three most loos-ables ( based on my service experience) the firing pin retaining pin, extractor pin and extractor spring and mayhaps a keychain SAK, just because.

I am getting wildly differing opinions on the rubber plugs for standard A2 grips. I wonder if roughing up the inside of the hole with say 150 grit sand paper run side t side and never up and down to make a begillion micro grooves might encourage the plug to stay in better.

Just apply a thin layer of RTV- will act like a waterproof, easily removable glue to hold the plug in.
I keep 5 extra rounds of ammo in a zip-lock in my Pistol grip and an oiler in my fore-grip.

 

[NIGHTLORD40K]

It differs on the rifle and whether it has an optic that needs batteries or not, but for me it goes...

1. Cleaning kit in A2 buttstock
2. Air
3. Batteries
4. Spare bolt

Now that you mention it, the bolt idea is a good one. Think I'll swap my extra ammo for this....thanks!

-I thought Ringo Starr inherited Tex Avery's portable holes.

I keep a little SAK wrapped in t-shirt material and a little squeeze bottle of lube in the one that I'm most likely to carry. The other two are works in progress.

 

[Dr.Rob]

My rifle isn't going on deployment and my spare parts are in my range bag.. earplugs are something I might forget to bring to a match.

Bore snake.

 

[Bbear]

small tool set to remove scope from my AR.

While working in wholesale sporting goods, I was in one of my dealers in Iowa when an old boy sold them an old sxs shotgun. When they tore it down to look for cracks in the stock they found a 1932 hunting license.

A Cyanide capsule. Just in case.

A Cyanide capsule. Just in case.

I've been looking for an oversize one to fit a hand grenade.

 

[commygun]

Spare extractor and a front sight tool.

 

[Browning]

As a result of this thread I filled the AR with the 'empty/air' grip space with a lens cloth for the scope and a set of ear plugs.

 

[BSA1]

I am glad I inspired you. The lens cleaning cloth is a very good idea.

 

[792mauser]

Foam earplugs

 

[tark]

Condoms...and a tube of.....oh... never mind.

All joking aside, I keep a small tube of CLP in there.
