Just aquired this little tool chest that contains lots of Enfield tools and gauges.
Did Peter notice the 'break-in'?! 😉 Very nice find!
Can identify most of the parts and gauges but tooooo many to go through. Ask if you need positive ID on any bits.
Last photo is a 'Horse, Armourers. Photo 4, bottom left are bobbins to centralise the stockbolt screwdriver in the hole in the butt. Useless without the screwdriver bit!
Photo 5 just general carpenters tools. Phoito 6 some Armourers screwdriver bits but not all. Photo 7, inspectors calibrated bolts and bottom left .455 No1 revolver barrel GO/must run gauge
Photo 8. obvious forked screwdrivers. 9 Armourers brace and stockbolt bit - badly mauled! magazine dollies. Top left, float fore-end and wooden drift No1. 10. Gauge, rod, No2 and odds and sods
Need close uips of gauges or SM number to identify but some Bren stuff there
wow great looking set thanks for sharing
Very nice. Love those old wooden chest.
As an apprentice toolmaker in the 80's, I recall all the more seasoned tradesman having those.
Thanks for posting.
The amazing thing is how clean the drawer liners are... Funny, could have bought half a dozen of those stock screw bits as new at the flea market last week, never seen one before either. The brass collars wouldn't turn and not recognizing them, decided to leave them there. Must see if they're still there on Sunday!

Very nice indeed, you should be able to recoup some of your outlay by selling some of those extra extractor tools on Fleabay.
WOW!! that is so cool!
Really, really a bit of everything. Peter's tool chest...we were just talking about mag dollies too a bit back. The first pics was neat, sight cramps and bore mirrors of several descriptions...very neat.
