Would a wrench roll or a tool bag work?
I use a 3 drawer Kolbalt Mech chest. |

A wrench roll might just work, I had not thought of that.

I don't know a ton about the m1a platform. What are all the tools in that kit for?

I like the pouch and I am always excited to buy new tools. Just didn't know if that was a maintenance kit or a building kit. |

Used to tighten, loosen, and hold the gas cylinder when removing installing the castle nut. Drill bits to clean out the gas piston. Castle nut pliers for the castle nut. Last pocket is shown holding the sections of cleaning rod and the handle that doubles as a wrench for the gas plug, and bolt disassembly tool. None of which are mandatory just makes life much easier. |

Small tool roll from amazon would be suitable, but I'd much prefer a zip-closed case so small items cannot fall out. Zippers can be a weak point, so read reviews carefully.
The complete, appropriate, GI cleaning kit is best kept in its' receptacle in the butt stock of the rifle, where it cannot be lost. This reduces the size of the tool roll. This tool roll seems like it will be OK: https://smile.amazon.com/OneTigris-Tactical-Roll-up-Pouch-Pockets/dp/B07MF9B1QP/ref=sr_1_27?crid=1385HHGPPCXSI&dchild=1&keywords=small+tool+roll+up+pouch&qid=1608043951&sprefix=small+tool+roll%2Caps%2C168&sr=8-27 The wide, velcro-secured flap should retain the tools adequately when the pouch is tolled up. Disclaimer: no financial interest. ETA: it works. Holds all the specialized M1A cleaning tools. |
