EAST GERMAN AK47 CLEANING KIT USED

Straight from Cold War-era East German armories, this is a genuine NVA (Nationale Volksarmee) issue AK cleaning kit — the real service item carried by East German soldiers to keep their 7.62×39 rifles running in the field. Known by its military designation RG-57, this kit was designed to service the AK-47, AKM, and RPK family of rifles and was intended to travel inside the buttstock trap of the issue weapon. For collectors, reenactors, and shooters who want the correct period-authentic accessory for an East Bloc AK, this is the genuine article — not a modern copy.

Every kit comes in honest, used surplus condition. Expect scuffs, scratches, patina on the metalwork, faded or worn finishes, and the character marks of decades of storage and service. That wear is part of the provenance — these are the tools that actually served with the NVA.

What's in the Kit

• Hinged steel tin-style container (the classic "tobacco tin" body) housing the brushes and small tools
• Bore brush, chamber brush, and gas port brush
• Combination disassembly and maintenance tool
• Pin punch
• Weighted pull-through cord for running patches through the bore
• Metal oil bottle / oiler
• Fabric roll / pouch to keep the components organized

Contents can vary slightly between production runs and issue periods — some kits ship in the classic hinged metal tin, others come with a rolled cloth or fabric case as pictured. All parts are original NVA issue.
