Oil bottle

Things a soldier would carry other than firearms, ammo, or uniforms. Meaning equipment such as ammo pouches, bayonets, holsters, oil cans, cleaning equipment, etc.

Duncan, this pullthrough is twice as long as the SLR item!
Well my thoughts are; if it has 2 loops, one in the middle and one at the end then the one in the middle is for the '4x2' not the one at the end. With proper sized cleaning pieces you would not be able to move it up and down the barrel as there would not be enough space for it to turn over.

Maybe it is from a section kit which would include carrying bits for an MG?

That reminds me, I must get my hands on an Enfield pull through for me Nº 4 :(

Martin, what is the bottle closest to the screwdrivers? The one that looks like two bottles soldered together at their bottoms. I have not seen that one before.

Duncan, the pullthrough is weighted at both ends with a single loop in the middle and is roughly 108 inches long.

Joe, that is a Soviet, dual compartment oil bottle initially made for captured Mausers.

It is , however, commonly found in Mosin Nagant cleaning kits.
