Kit includes: Oiler, with Spoon, Rope Pull-thru, Cleaning Gauze (Wire Mesh (3) pcs.) , Brass Weight, and cleaning cloth flanelette. I dont think the link is working.

EnfieldNutt84, Like this?

Whoops, having trouble with photobucket...I'll try later.

AFIK, these were issued with (T) rifles and No.5 carbines...I stand to be corrected.

If you get one and the pull-through becomes unwrapped, here you go ...

Suppose I should look for the green Tin box for the Flannels and Steel Swabs, or is there some other ingenious brilliant english solution to carrying these onboard? thanks for the posts.

Would the Savage Marked oiler originally be Blued Steel or Likewise Grey Parkerized like the Metal on the Gun and Bayonet?

You can store the oilier and pull-through in the butt stock. There are several other items that fit in the cleaning category.

The oilier can be brass, brown, black over even clear plastic. There are chamber cleaning sticks (technical term) flannel rolls. I still want to get one of the small tin boxes I see listed as No4 cleaning kits.

The oil bottle is good to store a spare extractor, spring and broken shell extractor.

The tin was used with the No.5 but I've never heard of it being issued with the Rifle No.4. It may have been but I think the tin is more a post WW2 thing and used for all arms including the semi-auto rifle.

The oil bottle? The broken shell extractor won't fit in the oil bottle and if you store spare parts in it, where will you keep your oil? Oil is guaranteed to be needed and the average soldier was not encouraged to replace broken extractors and springs. Not that they couldn't, it was just that they were going to need oil more than spare parts. Unit armorers had the spare parts.
