USGI M1911
.45 Caliber Pistol Cleaning Rod - Used
This is a
genuine United States Military Issue (USGI) M1911 Pistol Cleaning Rod,
engineered to rigid small-arms defense specifications for the maintenance of
the legendary M1911 and M1911A1 .45 ACP semi-automatic pistols. Issued
for decades to military armorers and frontline troops, this rugged,
single-piece tool is a vital piece of field gear designed to scrub out heavy
carbon buildup, apply solvents, and ensure flawless mechanical operation of service
sidearms.
In Used military
surplus condition, these rods carry authentic character from previous arms-room
or field service. While they will display standard signs of military use—such
as light finish wear, minor scuffs along the steel body, or thinning of the
original dark coating—they are thoroughly checked to ensure they are 100%
straight and functionally perfect. Free of any bore-damaging bends or
structural rust, they remain completely ready for your workbench or vintage
weapon display.
