Top-notchGot this M8 rod to clean my M1 and it works great. Joints together easy and reaches the whole barrel.
Tough build qualit
Fits .30 cal perfect -
Works Great Once You Clean the Grease OffBought this because I recently picked up an M1 Carbine at a gun show and wanted the correct cleaning rod for it. Fair warning, it arrives absolutely slathered in cosmoline grease like seriously caked on. Had bits of cardboard and dust stuck to it too. Don't let that scare you though, underneath all that gunk is a perfectly functional steel rod with a nice brass slotted tip. The two sections thread together easily once you clean the threads out and assembled its the right length for a .30 cal carbine barrel. I've used it a few times now after range trips running Winchester white box and some Aguila through the carbine, cleans up just fine with Hoppes #9 and cotton patches. Its not fancy but it does exactly what its supposed to do.
Functional and correct for M1 Carbine

Sturdy and reliable cleaning rodI've been using this M8 cleaning rod for a while now, and I'm impressed with its quality and performance. The rod is sturdy and well-made, with a comfortable handle that makes it easy to use. I've used it to clean my M8 rifle, and it's done a great job. The price is also very reasonable. I'd definitely recommend this cleaning rod to other M8 owners.

USGI quality, still perfectly functionalWhat I love about this cleaning rod is that it is not just a display piece but it actually still works perfectly. I carefully opened mine and used it to clean my 1944 M1 Carbine and it did the job exactly as intended. The brass tip is gentle on the bore and the steel handle gives you a solid comfortable grip while cleaning. Knowing that this rod was made in America during World War II and is still doing its job over eighty years later really says something about the quality they built back then.
Fully functional cleaning rod that works just as well today as it did in the 1940s
