John,
        I don't know where you can get such a thing, but I made something
that might work for you.  I use a syringe to which I attach the proper
diamter of clear plastic tubing for a tight fit.  On the other end is
aluminum tubing, starting with a diameter wich fits in the plastic tubing,
and with smaller sizes super-glued to step down to a small size which will
fit easily between action parts.  I hope this description makes sense - if
not, let me know and I'll try again.  I've been using it for CLP for a long
time with great success.
