Has anybody used an 1891 Argentine cleaning rod as a type 1 or 2 substitute???
Krag Argentine Total Length 29 5/8 28 3/8 Rod Diameter 0.196 0.201 Head Diameter 0.259 0.280 Head Length 1.165 1.155 Head Slot Length 0.430 0.440 Head Slot Width 0.120 0.130 Thread Rebate 0.181 0.185 Thread 24TPI 32TPI* * = Not sure about the TPI Both 1891 Argentine brass and steel head cleaning rods can be found by searching the WWW. Prices range from $11 to $40. Not sure if the diameter of the cleaning rod hole, on the front band, would allow the Argentine cleaning rod to be used, however, it might be an alternative... unless you had your heart set on a cleaning rod meeting exact specs. I've tried screwing my 1891 Argentine brass head cleaning rod into the Krag sling-swivel screw hole but met with limited success. I could get a few turns but any further would probably result in something being damaged. Anyway, just a thought. |
