Unknown Tool

[NyteOwl]

I came across the following in a box with some cleaning supplies but have no idea what it is other than some form of field tool. I suspect possible for an M1 Carbine but my online search has only led me to the M3A1 Garand tool which has a brush at one end.

Can anyone identify the following?

There was also a double ended plastic tube with screw caps and a cord pull bore cleaner in one end and what I presume to be some oiler device (small steel screwdriver-appearing thing attached to the end cap) in the same box.

Original M3 Combination tool for the M1 Garand. Replaced by the M3A1 Tool with a Brass chamber brush verses the sloted dowel to insert a cloth to clean the chamber.

Later replaced by the M10 Combination tool for the M1 Rifle.



The M14 uses this Combination tool.

Ah ok, thanks muchly. I suspected it was some kind of M1 tool but it didn't match any photos I found on-line. The endless varieties of military paraphenalia

That M3 combo tool is a nice find. They are drying up as of late. The M3A1 is a bit more common, particularly the PB marked Italian made ones. Can you post a pic of the oiler and pull through??
