marvinthemartian Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I've had these in the shed for quite a while, can anyone shed(no pun intended) any light on which gun they were for, or a general use item. Several different pieces, size etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 What width are the rods? This would give size of bore which helps a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero-Five-Two Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Handles look like barrel brush holders, you screw extensions on to get correct length Used to get them in SLR and LMG/GPMG cleaning kits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally T handle is missing, & I THINK these were for the MAG58? Top is half of a ruptured cartridge extractor tool. Pic 4 Are Wartime revolver & Sten Barrel cleaning rods. They should be copper plated steel Pic 5 is LMG & GPMG Cleaning rod sections & looped handles.

No, The Drill bit as I said. Was used as a 'Reamer' up THE GAS PLUG BORE. To remove carbon. The gas 'Cylinder' is also removable, & there is a dedicated Bronze bristle brush to clean the MUCH WIDER 'Bore' of that. This brush has a twisted galvanised steel handle & retains the Bronze Bristles at the same time. It is therefore one piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrym Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Is the reamer at 12 o'clock used to de-carbon the gas cylinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 12 o'clock. As well as up the Bore of the GAS PLUG, to remove Carbon deposit's. As mentioned previously, the GAS CYLINDER has it's own dedicated BRUSH for cleaning.

Barrym Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 (edited) I'm positive its the gas cylinder reamer, see attached. this is for the early models, which I used and taught, might of changed after i left. Edited May 7, 2019 by Barrym Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferretfixer Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 (edited) That was the original A1 kit. The L85A2 has the twisted bristle wire brush As I explained. The original Poster enquired what the 'Drill Bit' was for in His post. I explained. The cleaning kit for the A2 has a totally different pulthrough. (Know as a Bore snake) & the cleaning rod is the Looped handle as seen in the posters photo's. The one with the folding Handle in your Photo, is from the A1 Kit. Brush no.3 is an old SLR debris brush, with Nylon Bristles. The L85/ SA80 is a bigger green plastic handle. With a soft Bristle head. Error: The No.4 in your lower pic is NOT a 'SUSAT Zeroing spanner.' It is a zeroing screw Locknut Spanner. The zeroing of the screw is performed by the No.7 Screwdriver.
