K98 Cleaning Rod Measuring

**summerside sniper** · 06-30-2007 10:53 PM

As posted in Gunnutz, I am buying a K98 icon

from P&S. As a russian capture, I need to measure for a cleaning rod. What do I use as point A and point B when measuring for the correct size? HOw far out is the cleaning rod supposed to extend.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

It should look like this when screwed in ....

This happens to be a 10" version on a 1939 Code 42 Oberndorf K98k icon

...

Attachment 684 Attachment 685

There are several more pictures like this in various K98k photo montages within the MKL icon

...

Hope this helps....

Measure from the cleaning rod nut (in the stock) to the approximate center of the front sight, and you will be in range.
