Armourers horse. Commercial chamber scrubber (L shaped thing). 2x Screwdriver, stock bolt. L1A1 gas cylinder reamer? Cant see properly. Rubber flash eliminator/bore protector? Next pic. Commercial jaw protectors.
The armourers horse, do you attach it to a bench but how do you use it probably a daft question is it missing any fittings and i presume that you need a vice for the jaw protectors.
Second picture:
T tool is for .577" ML cavalry carbine
Y tool is for .577" ML Enfield and Snider BL
L shape with wire gauze looks like chamber scrubber for Swiss Schmidt Rubin
Below T tool is SMLE front sight adjuster
Bottom lhs is a mainspring clamp for musket size lock
Third from right top SMLE foresight clamp for changing sight blades
Armourers horse bolts onto work bench and rotates about the bolt-through axis hole. Swings out in order to rest the rifle on when rifle held in the vice
Parker Hale used identical bench horses to A.J. Parker and I am sure many other rifle manufacturers did as well as armourers. All been stated previously about holding butts etc.
There is a No 4 Foresight adjusting tool and also a Sergeants tool for black powder Enfields, with a tool bender and stretcher.
I have sorted out by bench with the various tools that i inherited from a colleague. But i have found this set at a bottom of a box I don't think they are for my enfield would anybody have an idea
