Topic: How to wrap a pull through Posted: 15 February 2007 at 7:27pm - IP: 74.245.11.254 |
I
don't know how many people out there have had trouble figuring out how
the devil to wrap a pull through so it will fit into the butt trap of
an Enfield rifle. Well here is the solution. Lewis "Vulture" Maynard of
Mooloolaba Queensland has taken step by step pictures and explained
just how to do the trick. Lewis learned from his Grandfather, who was
an Australian Soldier.

Grasp the uppermost gauze loop in your left hand (or
right hand if you are left handed), so that the middle of the loop is
held by thumb and forefinger.

Go around the fingers so you have 2 loops, and the initial piece...

And
now you have to insert the brass (sometimes steel / alloy) weight
through the loops. Can be awkward, but important. Go through ALL the
loops, ending with the extended loop...

Now,
fitting it in the trap. Here is where you go - the bundle goes into the
hole on top of the oiler, and the weight goes into the small hole
shown...

Now, about that funny bit of screen door mesh...
It's called "wire gauze" and it was used to clean rusty bores. It
could only be used with the specific permission of an officer because
it WILL damage the bore with continued use. If you have one of these,
keep as a curio and go buy a nice, modern bronze bore brush to clean
your rifle.
