Original Winchester four- piece cleaning rod for the famed 1873 Model rifle. Each rifle in .38-40 or .44-40 caliber had a sliding brass door compartment in the butt plate and was equipped with a cleaning rod consisting of four pieces with screw threaded ends. Since these rods added weight and often rattled inside the butt stock, it was common practice to remove them. Today, they are next to impossible to obtain. This original set consists of one slotted end section, two double threaded mid sections and one end section with correct brass knob. When assembled it measures approx. 27 inches long. It is in excellent uncleaned and unpolished condition!
