. nearly impossible to tell from an originalPosted by Unknown on 10th Feb 2014Correct diameter, correct length, exact head formation, a little toning down and coul not be determined if original or reproduction. Well satisfied. Perfect replacement rod for the Vetterli.Posted by Greg Jensen on 6th Feb 2014This rod is a perfect fit for the Vetterli and is virtually identical to the original rod. It really nicely rounds out the Vetterli.

I bought one and after seeing it I bought two more to fill in the holes in my Veterli collection. Great craftmanship, I couldn't be more impressed. Great replacement rod!Posted by David on 6th Feb 2014I bought an antique Swiss Vetterli M.78 rifle that was missing the cleaning rod. Butch's Antique Gun Parts had the perfect reproduction rod.

It fit perfectly and looks great. It was just what my wall hanger needed. I have another rifle on the way and already bought my second rod to go with it!
