33/40 cleaning rod

[Titan]

Do 33/40 rifles use a specific cleaning rod?
Thanks!

Yes. The 11" rods are unique to the 33/40 and very hard to find.

Special profile at the patch and as well.

They are hard to find, but they exist.

Is this one? It actually came in a 33/40

No

I just sold one an it was between the 10 and 12, so 11 (overall)is a pretty good guess...

I was told some exist without the taper at the patch end. I have 2 G33 rods that are 11 inches. One 11 inches with the taper at patch end and one 11 inches without the taper at patch end.

Here’s what I have. One tapered and one not.

Does it look like my rod is for 33/40?

imho, unfortunately your rod is a post war fabrication. The workmanship is marginal at best. It would work as a place holder until you can locate a proper one.

To me it looks too short and someone tried to taper it. You can get these rods from Norway if your looking for one.
