Vintage U.S. Military Rifle Bore Cleaner – 2 oz. Tin

This is an original mid-century military-issued tin of Cleaning Compound, Solvent, Rifle Bore Cleaner. The tin is marked with its NSN (6850-224-6656), contract details, and date of manufacture (August 1958). Produced by R.M. Hollingshead Corp., this compact 2-ounce can would have been part of standard issue cleaning kits for rifles such as the M1 Garand, M14, and early M16 rifles during the Cold War era. It seems to be empty. 

The tin is rectangular, with original black paint and white stenciled text. It is an authentic military collectible, sought after by militaria collectors, firearm enthusiasts, and those curating Vietnam War–era or Cold War U.S. military gear collections.
