Complete cleaning kit for LM5 ?

**Skyline** · 22-01-2014, 07:14

Bought two kits (the old military surplus stuff) from a gunshop in Alberton - when I got home noticed both kits were missing the three different sized rods that the brushes attach to. Asked the shop, they told me that you cannot get them with that kit anymore, which I know is crap since all my mates bought the same kits and have the rods - and they told me you cannot buy those rods at all anymore ??

Where can I buy the rods from now ?

I saw some complete kits at VLT a while ago.

1. Post an introduction like you were asked.
2. Valley Trading sells new military kits.

I'm in Zim, so not as easy to get stuff here. I'd love to get more of the grease from those kits?

I had 3 of those kits, all with the rods removed. It is somewhat rare nowadays(but you do still find them) to find the complete kit with the rods included.
I spoke to a "tiffie" that told me they remove those rods from the kits before they issue them(the case for a while now), because the soldiers use them incorrectly by cleaning the barrels from the muzzle(front) side of the barrels and thus damaging the barrels/rifling.
