M1 Garand Combination Maintenance Tool

[gnmontey]

Per a suggestion made at the SG Clinic, I purchased a M1 Garand combo tool

Apparently these are the uses for the tool:

1 - Remove and replace the gas cylinder lock screw and various other screws; and seat the rear sight base;
2 - Extract a cartridge case;
3 - Remove pins and assemble the extractor and ejector;
4 - Assemble and disassemble the extractor and ejector without removing the bolt from the rifle;
5 - Clean the chamber of the barrel;
6 - Install the extractor spring and plunger.

Can anyone explain how to use the tool to accomplish items 2, 3, 4, and 6?

I'm lost.

Thanks

Have a look at www.surplusrifle.com/garand/boltdiassemble/index.asp

I looked through all of the surplusrifle info and could not find an article that explained all of the individual functions.

A lot depends on which one you have. They're not all the same.

This is what I have.
