SVT-38 cleaning rods

stephen · Dec 4, 2024

Hi
As a collector of Russian firearms myself I have seen online people looking for 38 rods to complete there rifles, without much luck.
A fellow collector I know has had a small stash of originals that I have known of for over 20 yrs and I finally talked him out of them.
Wondering what kind of demand there might still be?
I would like to get them out to collectors in need for a fair price. I don’t sell much online and want to judge the need before going to the trouble of buying correct packaging.
A few are decent condition, others have a decent amount of pitting.
Let me know what you think

Well, it's one of those things that if you need one, they are basically unobtainable. And not many people need one. 38s usually have their rods. Almost impossible to put a price on them given the tiny market and nonexistent supply.

All that said, I might be interested in one of the nice ones. You never know.

I would be interested in a nicer one as well.

Ok, seems there is enough interest to move forward. Tried to look up recent sales but only saw repro rods for $150. I want to price them fair but not to cheap that I see them pop up on eBay soon after I sell them.
I was thinking $250 for nicer ones and $200 fair condition ones, and that would include shipping. If out of line please let me know

I would also be interested in one with a bit of bluing remaining if you do sell them please.

Ok, I will keep a list of who first showed interest and when I get packaging and ready to ship(after Christmas rush) I will offer best first and work down list
Thanks
Stephen
