Ill try to take a picture tonight if I get a chance.

We had a brush for my M60a1 so I would assume they did as well for the Tiger. We had a group of poles we screwed together put an attachment on the end (There were more than one, but usually we just had a bore brush or a rag attachment) we would then angle the tube down and a couple of guys would run the poles up and down the barrel a couple of times. We used gun cleaning fluid same stuff as you did with the M16 rifles

Karl, they are made of brass, and look very similar to the plastic ones in the late Tiger kit. I got three of them selotaped to a small piece of cardboard. From end to end they are 29mm in lenght and have a small return on one end.
