Swiss SG510 Cleaning Kit, 7.62 mm, Surplus

A pretty versatile cleaning kit for the Sig SG510/Sturmgewehr 57 rifle. It works with all.30-caliber guns, such as 7.62×51mm NATO, .308, 30-06, and 7.62x39. The bits and bobs are packed in an awesome tool roll made from seasick walrus green rubberized canvas.

Features

As you can deduct from the name, Stgw. 57 was developed in the 50s, and replaced by the smaller bore SG550 in 1990. It was manufactured for the Swiss army in 7.5x55 and for export purposes in 7.62×51mm NATO. The gun cleaning tools come in a tool roll made from poison green rubber/vinyl-coated canvas. The consistency of the material isn’t given but it is bound to be something exciting and eternal.

The kit includes a swiveling T handle plus extension rods (one with a swiveling brass jag), three brass brushes, a chambering tool, 1 bore inspection mirror, and two watertight plastic grease cans, which are enormously useful on their own too (cut off the brush, fill with matches; a waterproof matchbox!).

The tool roll is approximately 21 x 9.5 x 6 cm (8.3” x 3.7” x 2.4”) when rolled into a bundle. It weighs about 480 g (1.06 lbs). A bit more if the jars are full of grease.

The assembled rod with the headpiece of your choice and the plastic handle is about 1 metre (39.3"). With the handle excluded the length is about 85 cm (33.4").

Condition

Used Swiss military surplus but in fairly good condition. The tool roll can have some small stains, and there can be other signs of use as well. However, the grease jars can be empty, or the stuff is so ancient that you might wanna change it anyway.
