Picked this up in the gravel at a recent shoot. Appears to be some sort of military multi tool. The center boss pivots 360 degrees and is treaded. I assume that is for a cleaning rod. The slot in the right end has a recess that spans about 120 degrees. Perhaps a pin limits the range of the feature being turned by the slot?

Anyhow, what is this things function?

M1 Garand combination tool. Functions as cleaning rod T-handle (center threaded fitting), Gas cyl lock screwdriver using cleaning rod section thru hole in end, and other end is bolt disassembly tool.
Looks like the small piece of metal used to disassemble bolt is missing from slot in end nearest through-hole.

Never seen one, BUT itlooks like the slot in the back could hold a lever so it can be used as a screwdriver.

bigdb1, combo tool for M-14 screw driver blade on one end, the hole on other end, round, is to slide a rod section through for a T handle. The same end usually has a flat steel part in the slot there. That end also can be used to take your bolt apart. Center hole is to attach the rod, swivels so it woun't loosen. There was one for late model M-1 rifles too looked similar.

It's an M10 combo tool for the M1 Garand, The missing piece is for disassembling the bolt. Not a rare item but it can be real handy if you have an M1.

I knew I'd get the answer here. Thanks to all!

Maybe I can convince Her Majesty I need a rifle to use it on... "But baby, it'd be a shame to let it go to waste."[[:P]
