At the range yesterday, a (generous) chap, knowing that I had an L1A1, gave me the two objects in the photos attached. They were given to him, as a pair, many years ago.





Well, we know that one of them is an L1A1 sight protector (nice to have, but not to be used - scratches the barrel!!), but the other one? It has a NATO s/n stamped on the screw on brass cap:

5340-99-960-4753. 960 = L1A1 ??

I've been told that it may be an L1A1/GPMG Gas Plug Cleaner.

Inside were two collets - what are they for?

Of course. it may have absolutely nothing to do with an L1A1. It's probably something to do with reaming the valves of a Centurion Tank's engine.

Thanks.
