British WW2 Gun Cleaning Set

Original Item: This is the standard set of cleaning accessories issued with British and Lend-Lease rifles, carbines, and machine carbines (submachine guns) during WW2. The Bottle, Oil, Mk 5 is made of Bakelite and may be black or brown. The Pull-through, Single, Mk 4 was issued with rifles, machine carbines, and machine guns such as the Bren, Vickers, Lewis, and Browning. (A very small number of short pull-throughs were made for the Sten Machine Carbine, but these are rarely encountered. Official documents indicate that the Pull-through Mk 4 was to be used with machine carbines.) The wire gauze is to be wrapped through the middle loop of the pull-through.

The set consists of:

o Bottle, Oil, Mk 5, Complete

o Pullthrough, Single, Mk 4B

o Gauze, Wire, For Pullthroughs

o Flannelette (?fourbytwo? in the Royal Army), 2x4, 0.5 yd
