Winchester Cleaning Rod Set For Small Bore Rifles |Page 2|General Discussions & Questions|Forum|Winchester Collector

 In the Winchester catalogues starting in 1875 on page 2 they referred to them as “a cleaning rod will be found in the stock of the rifle, and is got out by opening a lid in  the butt plate.” After paging thru catalogues til 1918 the only reference to wiping rods is in the parts list. So does that mean if you loose your cleaning rod that came with your rifle you have to order a wiping rod from the parts department? T/R  

Kinda sounds like it to me.  But I bet even in those days If you ordered a cleaning rod or a wiping rod they knew what you meant.

I haven’t looked into cleaning rods in while, but want to research them more.

“Used but mint.”   

That must be a new Tic Tac flavor I don’t know about. “Minty RustEverBrown”
