East German AK47 Cleaning Kit

AK47 Field Cleaning Kit

This is the East German Army's issued maintenance kit for the AK pattern rifle, carried by NVA (Nationale Volksarmee) soldiers to keep a 7.62x39mm Kalashnikov running in the field. Everything needed for a field strip and clean packs into a single sealed carry tube, so you can service the bore, chamber and gas system away from the bench. It suits AK owners who want a period-correct kit, as well as collectors and reenactors after genuine East German issue.

Features

• Hinged Carry Tube — The ribbed black case holds the full kit and clips shut, so the tools stay together in a pack or pouch.
• Pull-Through Cord — A braided cord feeds through the bore to drag a patch or brush down the barrel, the standard AK alternative to a stiff one-piece rod.
• Bore Brush — The twisted-wire brush with brass bristles scrubs fouling out of the rifling inside the barrel.
• Chamber And Parts Brush — A stiffer brush clears carbon from the chamber and other hard-to-reach surfaces.
• Cleaning Jag And Punch — The pointed steel tool doubles as a patch holder and a drift for pushing out pins during disassembly.
• Bristle Brush — A natural-bristle brush sweeps grit and loose carbon off the action and exterior.
• Oil Bottle — The small olive drab bottle carries cleaning oil for lubricating the moving parts after a clean.
• Folding Tool — The hinged black tool stows flat in the tube and assists with field stripping.
• Correct Caliber — Sized for the 7.62x39mm bore of the standard AK47 and AKM.

Genuine NVA Issue

This kit was issued by the East German Army (NVA) for maintenance of its service Kalashnikovs during the Cold War. It is genuine military surplus, not a copy, with the brushes, cord, oil bottle and tube built to the army's own pattern. For anyone restoring or shooting an East German MPi-K or any AK47, or building an authentic period loadout, it is the maintenance set those rifles were meant to carry.
