I am in need of some help. My type 99 arisaka is a beautiful series 7 nagoya rifle with original stock and all matching #`s. I managed to find an original cleaning rod after scavenging it from a more beat up rifle. My arisaka takes the long cleaning rod, not the shorter versions, but when i try to put it in i run into a problem. It seems that whoever brought it over from the war forgot to clean out the cleaning rod hole and now there is some kind of rotten packing material stuck all the way down the rod hole. I want to get it out so i can put the rod in but i can`t seem to find a tool that would fix this problem without damaging the stock. Has anyone else had this problem and if so how can i clean all of this material out? Any help is greatly appreciated.
