    M-1 muzzle guide rod

    I scrounge unusual brass from the range when I find it. A looong time ago I needed to clean an M-1 but didn't have a guide for the rod for the muzzle.

    Looking thru my junk box for a "tool," (I never know what I'm looking for until I see something from which a "hidden tool" can be made) I found a suitable piece of brass. I had range pick up of several Weatherby 378 mag cases. ( yeah, go figger)

    I cut one off and drilled out the primer to fit my cleaning rod, and it worked.

    So, for grins and giggles, I offer it to you if you want it, and have a high roller that leaves big brass in the weeds.

    The Otis system works better tho......

    Very nice for sure. I gave up using rods on my M1s and M14s long ago. Instead I have been using an OTIS cable pull through and even use them on my precision bolt rifles nowadays. Whatta Hobby!
