    Try ShopDirector or DS Solutions Militaria | Small Arms Parts & Accessories or RD & A Mills Services They have got the multi tools, burst case extractors and oil bottles. Very difficult to find a complete tool kit.
    All these chaps have more stuff than is advertised on their web sites. Hope this is of help. KRs Lester

    Just a thought. the .303 Lee Enfield tool kit is almost the same ( same oil bottle and pull through). It's a small green tin about the size of a 2oz tobacco tin. Could swap the bits over. Although this is not strictly correct for a metric FAL. When the Britishicon Army did the trials for the SLR in the early 50s. They used Belgian built rifles.
    http://www.lightmachinegun.org.uk I have built two Brengun tool kits from scratch, one tool at a time! Another possibility is towards the end of the Brens service life. Some soldiers combined both the SLR and Bren tools into one tool kit. The Bren spare parts wallet is fairly easy to find and you can hang it round your neck. Also has a sectional cleaning rod. ( I built up a 7.62mm Bren tool kit up by mistake when looking for .303 tools).
    Hope this helps. Kind regards, Lester

    FAL Armourers Tool Kits are totally different to any of the Britishicon cleaning kits or armourers tools. The kits are extremely difficult to find and are very expensive if you do find a set.

    I am looking for one or two cleaning kits that fit inside the grip for my FN FALs. I have a commercial FN FAL that I purchased from a friends estate and it in Excellent shape. Did the Israeli FN FALs have cleaning kits in the grip. If they do I need three more.

    Just to correct others very slightly regarding the No4 rifle and the L1A1 rifle pullthrough. The L1A1 rifle pullthrough steel weight has a chamfered end to it and this weight was designed so that the soldier could use the 60 degree sharp needle tip end to scrape away carbon from the deflector part of the gas plug and the piston rings - and anywhere else really. In depth cleaning of the gas block was the responsibility of the training staff and the Armourers who used the gas block cutter/reamer

    There it is, No4 rifle pullthrough weight brass or steel, L1A1 pullthrough weight steel with the needle tip end.

    Sorry if you already knew this
