Finding a cleaning rod for a 1870 Snider Enfield III?

[Mr. Dynamite]

Hey there, looking for some opinions on a cleaning rod for a 1870 Enfield III. Are old original ones out there kicking around for purchase? Are the Nepali ones the next best bet? Do they fit ok, or is there anything to watch out for there? And how about repo's? Are they any good and does anybody have contact for Hank in Calgary? I have been told his are the best.

Thanks for your help and opinions, new gun to me so don't know much about it!

Also would like to find an original rear sight slider and rear sling swivel if any one has any ideas for that!

I fitted one of these for my 1st Canadian 3 bander, it has a swell you will have to grind off....Looks great and does everything a cleaning rod has to do.

Some places are selling rods for60-80 bucks which is nuts for a new made one.

Dixie is selling this one for 20 bucks but I have no Idea what its like
