Mannlicher cleaning rods
#390368 - 13/03/25 01:57 PM

I remember reading some information about the cleaning rods for the Mannlicher rifles but tried search and came up with nothing. It gave a lot of information on number and lenght of the sections.

There has been discussion here before, I'm rather certain.

There was a lot of variance regarding MS cleaning rods, differing lengths, four or five piece sets, differing ends. My M1910 TakeDown Model has a five piece set.

Various images swiped from the 'net over time
some original, some repro:

Is there a chance you could give me the lenght and diameter of the rods you have for the 1910 ? As I have a pretty good machine shop I can make a set in case I can't find some originals.

If it helps, in the most recent Mannlicher Collectors Association newsletter I received (#158), the first ad in the For Sale section lists: "Four Piece Cleaning Rod, MS Carbine, 1903, 05, 08, 10. $100. Anyone in need of magaines for the .22 Steyr Zephyr? Contact Philip via sparholt@mail.tele.dk"

The magazines for the latest version of the 22 Zephyr is a CZ/Brno magazine. No idea about the original Zephyr.
