Carcano butt-stock cleaning rods
I've seen several conflicting statements concerning Carcano butt- stock cleaning rods. Are they 3 piece or are they 2 piece? Or are they rifle-specific? Some of my rifles have room for the 9 1/2 rods, some have only enough room for the 6 inch rods. I have only seen one picture of the 6 inch set, are they that rare? I've seen the 9 1/2 inch sets advertised as 2 pc. sets and as 3 pc. sets- which is correct? Logic would seem to be that the 9 1/2 sets are 2 piece and the 6 inch sets are 3 piece, to achieve the same overall length when assembled, but logic hardly ever works in real life!
Does anybody have any insight?
BTW, Hobbs's book doesn't offer a clue.
