That is not to say they are not functional cleaning rods, though. Normally, a collector would seek out this piece for placement underneath the barrel in an attempt to make the rifle appear more correct.

These rods are generally used only for cosmetic purposes. Each rod measures approximately 15 and 5/8 inches long and includes threads that have been cut precisely and are ensured to attach securely to any Gewehr 98, M98 or M1908 Mauser rifle. That said they feature a fully-steel construction with a blued finish. These cleaning rods are brand new reproduction items that are historically accurate and sure to compliment your Gewehr 98 perfectly. As noted, original Gewehr 98 cleaning rods are few and far between.
