    Barrel clearing tool

    Hi Folks.. one for the Brits & Commonwealth gang perhaps...?
    Attachment 109848

    This is a Parker Hale Armourer's Barrel clearing tool. It is used for hoiking (.. technical term!) broken pull throughs out of Lee Enfields..

    My problem is that the hooky bit (.. another technical term!) on the end is missing and I have no idea what it looks like!

    (..draws a deep breath!)

    Any Ideas?

    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.

    To grasp the end of a pull-through; either the weight or the other end, (I'll call it the "shank") one would expect some sort of a collet "chuck", I assume the function of the threaded collar would be to draw that up against the end of the tube so as to tighten the collet in the usual way(?)

    Pondering how one would get the collet over the end of the weight or "shank" of the pull through, I suppose it would have to be inserted from the end opposite the cord as a few inches of that would completely obstruct any contact with the weight or "shank".
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928
