I have a 98k Mauser and I was trying to get all the "correct" capture pieces back on my rifle. My question is, How do you know which length of cleaning rod is correct for the rifle? I should know this, but for some reason I don't. Thanks for your input
the cleaning is not long enough to go all thru the bore, two or more soldiers would combine them or use the rope opr brass pull through boresnake.IIRC the cleaning rod is only 12 or 14 inches. its the rest of the accessories you need to clean the gun.
The correct length for the 98k rod is 12.5".The easy way to tell if your stock takes a 10" rod is to remove the rear band,which is unless you got a g33/40 you need a 10inch. If there is a lug under the band on the bottom of the stock the stock will take a 10" rod. If the lug is not there then it takes a 12.5" rod..You didn't say what king of 98k ya have.
