The PDF is OK. Here it is converted to a JPG.

 

walrus, we're a little "gun shy," so to speak, around here. We have a history of spammer bombardment. Welcome to the board.

 

I take it all those pieces fit together somehow? Looks like there's a plumb bob there at least.

That one part that I thought was a reamer, I don't think so. I think there are some hold down fingers on that plate that looked like the cutting parts to me. So, not a reamer.


I have not seen any gunsmithing tools that look like that. Not that I've seen a lot of them. So, besides the plumb bob, I dunno.

Guess I owe an apology to Walrus. I've been a bit jumpy since getting hammered by pop-ups and voice commercials after clicking on a local gun ad.

 

The tube with the knurled knob looks like a M-1 Carbine sling oilier. The large tool looks like a surveyor's plumb. The tool with the wing nut if it were bigger looks like a pipe straightener. I haven't seen one since the late 60's. It was used to iron out dings in car exhaust and muffler pipes. Sorry again for being a bit quick on the draw over the pdf.

The tool that looks like a reamer with the knurled knob looks similar to the top of a 22RF mag tube. I pulled one apart in the early 70's and it looks some what similar. Just been to many years to recall exactly how the knob attached to the tube but sure looks like it.
