M14/M1A/M1 Garand Multi-Tool - THE ARMORER

Hello everyone,

I wanted to share with you a new, patent pending, multi-functional tool/gauge that I invented called THE ARMORER. It has about 30+ uses/functions/configurations and can fit inside the M14 buttstock storage tube (long) for easy portability.

The main gauge functions are:

• Muzzle Wear Gauge
• Throat Erosion Gauge (M14)
• Throat Erosion Gauge (M1)
• Flash Hider Alignment Gauge

Some of the main functions/uses are:

• Gas Nut Wrench
• Bolt Roller Greaser
• Trigger Group Disassembly Tool/Pin Punch
• 1/4" hex socket for standard drive bits
• Gas Piston Holder
• Grease Container
• Gasketed, Dry Storage Compartment
• Rear Sight Tool
• Butt Stock Screw Tool
• Extractor Claw Cleaner
• Bolt Face Carbon Scraper
• Stock Liner Tool
• Magazine Floor Plate Tool
• Etc.

It is primarily designed for the M14 and also for the M1 Garand as many things are similar between these two Battle Rifles.

I would like to hear some of your initial impressions. I am continuously looking to improve. The announcement was originally made on M-14 Firing Line Public Forum, with additional images, but I know some of you do not frequent both sites and I would like to hear from as many fellow M14/M1 Garand enthusiasts/collectors as possible.

Thank you all for listening and looking forward to your feedback.

Regards,

George

Looks like a pretty handy tool to me. Email me please as to price.

The website listed priced it at $215.00

Sales will be eventually handled through the dealers as we are concentrating on product development. There are four new product designs that we're working on and hopefully show you for feedback soon.

For the time being, there is a group buy here M-14 Firing Line Public Forum that we'll be handling directly so we can get products out to everyone to field test and receive some feedback.

I'd like to keep the thread more product use related. If you have sales questions, please refer to the group buy link above or please email me. Thank you.

Some of you have contacted me about the volume/size of the Water Tight Dry Storage Tube and the Grease Pot, here are the specs:

Grease Pot
.05 cubic inches
.82 mL
.03 oz

Dry Storage:
.362 cubic inches
6.0 mL
.20 oz

You should have enough grease to last you about (3+) applications. Pending on how generous you are with it.

If you really want, the dry storage can be used for grease storage as well but would probably last you (20+) or so applications.

George,

What's the steel type and Rockwell hardness?

All parts are made out of 41L40 Chome-Moly Steel, heat treated to a Rockwell hardness of 50-52, with the following exceptions:

The thread protector and grease cap is made out of Brass so it doesn't mar the parts and form a better seal for the grease pot.

TE gauge and MW gauge sections are purposely not heat treated to maintain a tight tolerance as heat treating will cause the dimensions to shift and also so the gauge does not wear on the barrel as easily.

Regards,

George

That has to be the most handy tool I have ever seen for the M14 !

wow!
