Yes, it's been so long since I've used mine that I forgot I have them. One for M1 Rifle that is supposed to fit in the butt in a little cloth tube. And one for M16, that came in a snap pouch that has the clip for mounting on a pistol belt but I never saw anyone wearing one. I've never kept tools in the butt of an M1 Rifle.
In some bunch of misc. gun crap that I bought as a lot once, there were a couple of Commie rifle cleaning kits. Painted steel rods. I don't know who or what for, but they are good enough for occasional or emergency use. If you have certain single shot rifles, it's good to keep a rod handy just in the event of a stuck case in a chamber. Which can render the arm useless and end a range trip.
When I had M1A's, I used the handle of a GI rod to loosen the gas cylinder nut, but not the remainder of the rod.
