I have had the newer cleaning kit and combination tool for decades. Now that I have seen this, I think I want to add the older ones to my collection too. Thanx for making the video. I learned some new stuff.
Oh thank you sir for the great instructions I have an M3 early tool that came with them the rifle and I never knew how to use it till now you're a great teacher
Absolutely a great addition to my knowledge of these components. I especially enjoyed the illustration of the use of the combo tool on the bolt face. I've been trying to figure how how to use it for literally years. 👍🙂
Great video, thanks. Lots of useful info in this one. I often wondered how to use some of the M1's tools. My basic training days covered most of the methods, but that was some time ago, 1958 to be exact.
Thank you for your service! Glad you enjoyed the video. In my experience training was often focused on the simplest and most used features of things. A dive into the manual on my own often revealed lots of useful tidbits.
Glad I could be of assistance in answering prayers! The M10 rod will hopefully be fairly soon and I'll eventually get to the M3A1 but thats not a whole lot different.
@@HistoryinFirearms yeah haha but now I realize I really only need three things for my ww2 reenacting instead of a whole cluster load of stuff that was used during Korea lol
@@thetroodon9482 Oh good. I will mention that the grease pot in the video is a post WWII grease pot. WWII grease posts have a lighter color grease and are marked "Lubriplate".
The cleaning brush does not fit in the stock with the other items. It would likely have been carried in a pocket for easy access and quick debris removal.
Thanks for the great video! What kind of cord is that on your pull through/thong? I have 3 but the cord is caput from dry rot. Is that bore brush a fiber one?
Thanks and you're welcome! The cord is original, I think they are probably cotton. Most are probably not suitable for actual use at this point. The bore brush is the fiber one.

Hopefully I can get to the M10 cleaning rod soon. I still need to pick up a M3A1 combo tool but it's very similar to this one.
@@HistoryinFirearms yep.
I am pretty sure I have the later model cleaning kit in my Rifle. I will check later today.
@@winkleried I'll hopefully get to the M10 cleaning rod soon.
You have no idea how useful this information is. I could not find concrete demonstrations anywhere on how to use the m3 tool
Yeah, I didn't find much on this when researching. Unfortunately I don't have a locking bar rear sight to demonstrate with. Glad you enjoyed!
Thats the first time ive seen the combination tool demonstrated! Well done and thanks.
Thanks and you're welcome!
Nice explanation of all points. The most useful description I've seen anywhere of how to use a patch in the chamber with the M3. Thanks!
Thank you and you are welcome!

Thank you!! My prayers have been answered on a good vid about the garlands cleaning tools!

You are welcome!
where does the cleaning brush go, in the case?
The cleaning brush does not fit in the stock with the other items. It would likely have been carried in a pocket for easy access and quick debris removal.
Excellent work and detail on this equipment.
Thanks!
How do I use the combination tool for the rear locking sight bar? You mentioned but I have no idea how I would use it
I believe it would be used on the screw opposite the lock bar on the rear sight. Unfortunately I don't have a lockbar sight.
outstanding.... I didn't know there was a system like the thong. Awesome.
Glad you enjoyed!
