Bought an Australian Number One Mark III, 1942 made today. Bore was a bit dark, but it looked strong. Took it out, shot four rounds through it, no problem. Brought it home and cleaned the bore out....
The hole the cleaning rod enters is too small for the standard 98K rods that I have on six different 98K rifles I have, from 1939, 41 and one 1944 model.
I have a Gustloff Werke KKW .22 rifle. It doesn"t have the cleaning rod. I tried a 98K rod, but it doesn"t fit. This rifle has the Nazi Party marking on it. Can someone help me locate a cleaning rod?

Thanks for the advice. The rifle does look new, no tampering or refurb. I did notice that it looked like the butt plate was in the white. Never seen that on a 96? Could the be original?
I have an SA Nazi party marked KKW 22 Trainer made by Gustloff Werke. It does not have a cleaning rod and will not accept a standard 98k rod. Does anyone know which rod is correct for it. Also, a...
Thanks Brian. I will certainly leave it as it is. I had a feeling leftover parts were sent to Long Branch. Thanks for the advice/info .
I have a typical refurbished recently imported Russian Mosin Nagant 91/30 rifle. However, the previous owner decided to re-finish the stock and ruined it. I'm looking for another re-furbished stock...
