This lot offers you an original three-piece cleaning rod for the famed U.S. issue .45-70 caliber Trapdoor Springfield Carbine. These rods were stored in the butt stock through a sliding trap in the butt plate. Usually these seem to be missing and are hard to replace. Slotted end for cleaning the bore with the threaded end allowing attachment for a “stuck case” remover. Essential Indian Wars accouterment. Nice aged and uncleaned appearance. Each rod segment measures 8 1/4" long.
