Default Buffer Tube Storage

I've managed to fold and wrap up my bore snake to fit in the buffer tube.

No cap on the end of the tube with my pinned 15-22.

Dear lord, please tell me that isn't a euphemism for something else?

I guess that does seem a little dirty.

I have been pondering what I could/should store in the buffer tube area since getting my 15-22 on the 15th. From this thread I believe I will end up putting some cleaning components in, such as a small bottle of Ed's red, a small tube of grease along with some patches maybe even a bore brush and jag with multiple short sections of cleaning rod. Don't have to worry about losing the plug because I replaced the buttstock with a Magpul MOE SL
My Magpul MOE+ grip will hold a sight adjustment tool, any allen wrenches specific to the gun/scope and an extra battery for the scope/light. Most everything will be in small zip lock bags as to not rattle; works in my other rifle along with a firing pin, retaining pins and bolt rings.

Good luck replacing the plug if it is lost.The last time I checked S&W said they didn't even have a part number for it.

Though some haven't had a good fit, I have a Ergo rubber plug on my hand grip which allows additional storage. Mine's is a tight enough (hopefully) fit.

I will be exploring the possibilities of storing something in the stock tube, if for no other reason than to reduce the noise of sound transfer when the rifle is fired.

Then you have a rattle in the tube.
