Thread: Some help identifying a few things???

I bought a bin-full of stuff from someone that they identified as all gun-related. Most was, some was not. I was able to indentify 98% of it, but I am left with a few things. Of course, I have ideas on most, but I am looking for more specific information, hopefully.

My best guess on the first tool is that it is simply to meausure the bores of shotguns? If I am correcty, any idea of brand or any other info?

Second, we have a sling. I am guessing it is some sort of military sling. Any specifics?

Third item, I really don't know. A small (approx 3") metal flask with two sides labeled W and H. I'm guessing some sort of powder flask, but I have no idea. Came to me in pouch shown above.

Fourth item is a a miniature grim reaper sicle?? No, it is not sharp. Seems to be a tool specific for some purpose.

Fifth is obviously a gun-cleaning kit. Not sure for what gun. Seems like I may have seen one somewhat similar to this with an SKS before?

And, lastly, we have an ammo/magazine pouch of some sort. I just can't figure what would really fit into it. Seems too big for speed loaders and too small for any sort of magazine that I can think of.

I know there are some people out there who have a LOT more experience than I do. ANY information would be appreciated. Value, vintage, manufacturer, guesses...???

Thank you!

The sling, ammo pouch and cleaning kit look exactly like the stuff that came with the Russian SKS I bought back in 1995. It was one of them factory refurbished so everything came new in the box. No idea on the other stuff.

That top picture is a key for shotgun choke tubes

i could be wrong but i think all of that is SKS stuff or some variant. Dont take my opinion as anything but , i think the cleaning kit goes in the stock buttstock.

Its close.

Thats a military issue sks/ak cleaning kit

So the flask is for oil and solvent?

And what is the hooked tool for?

Flask is oil/solvent...got a better pic of the writing? Thinking Yugo Mauser.

Hook is a gas block wrench for something ( been googling trying to figure it out! )

Sling and cleaning kit look bulgarian AK, pebble pouch is later Mosin.

the cleaning kit looks like an early boresnake to me.

The first "cross" is a SKB choke tube wrench and the second set of goods is from a Mosin Nagant
Sling,lube /solvent can,bore light from wherever,cleaning kit and stripper pole,er,er stripper clip holster.

bore light from wherever

What bore light? I still don't understand what the hook/crook thing is?

Your lower pic won't enlarge for me. I was jst going through an old box of stuff in my fathers basement and amongst the ancient ammo, bullet mold, stripper clips, there was a tube similar to the tube in your pic. Caps threaded to the inside on both ends, in one end is a string used for cleaning and the cap on the other end has a wire with a hooked end on it.

Bad eyes,sorry Now it looks like a spanner wrench.

But I haven't had coffee

Definitely a spanner wrench.Not sure where it is used but guessing for the barrel somewhoo

Your dual compartment oil/solvent flask is of "late" Soviet manufacture.

the oiler and the ammo pouch are for a mosin nagant.
the cleaning kit is as well.
the sling is AK

So someone tell us what the spanner wrench is for
