The butt traps of M1903, M1903A3 Springfield rifles and some early M1 Garands contained a nickel-plated brass cylinder with a bronze bore brush and pull-through in one end, and a oil container in the other. The bore brush was shorter than other WWII brushes so that it would fit in the cylinder. (They are 3" long rather than the more common 3.5"). Can anyone tell me where I might find these "shorty" brushes and what their correct designation is if there is one?
