Soviet Rifle Oiler
These recognizable oilers were issued to Soviet troops for decades - and for good reason. They’re durable and light. There are a couple of different styles from various eras. Fair warning, these are caked with cosmoline and should be cleaned thoroughly before use.
The two chamber model (meant to hold solvent in one side and oil in the other) is generally thought to be post war and issued with Mosins, SKS rifles and early AKs.
The single chamber model came later and was issued with SKS and AK47 rifles. They were issued originally without a carry case, but later a faux leather pouch was provided to troops. The AK74 was issued with a plastic oiler.
