That sounds like something I NEED. In .45 caliber however.
I have seen hinges like that. Interesting idea. Hmmm. I wonder if I can pull it off?

Just want to add, not my first rodeo with vintage/antique gun accessories. Ive been collecting a variety for quite awhile, which is why I am so mystified by never encountering one of these before. Hoping someone out there can enlighten me! Google Photos

That's a nice piece of work.
I'm not sure it solves a problem or is at all practical, but it is very elegant.
It is best described I guess as 'functional art'.

Wingshot54,
The system is exactly like some shelter half poles I have that preceded the separate 3 piece poles we used, Viet Nam era. They are WW2 ( or maybe WW1) poles. While the same system, they are definitely not up to the cleaning rod in execution.

It would be nice if someone were producing the jointed cleaning rods now. I have more than one set and the separate pieces stay mixed up...Geo

Drill a hole lengthwise thru the middle section, thread an elastic cord thru the hole and attach the cord ends to the end sections.
Fold like a tent pole, and will still screw together.....
Just posted as a joke, but possibly could work?
For Geo N.

For Geo N. That will work for sure and you can go down to your local camping store and buy a tent pole for the same purpose, but the brass hinges are so much more elegant.

Thanks Mr. Colonial, but I wonder how those elastic things would hold up to solvent and gun oil. I bet they'd get pretty nasty after a while...Geo
