Hi guys,

I just got my '07 Norinco in the mail, and I'm really excited to get out and shoot it. Does anyone know where I can get one of these "field stripping tools" like the one's I'm seeing used in the YouTube field stripping tutorials (supposedly included with rifle?)
 
Check the butt stock. Lift the metal flap and wedge open the little door in the rear of the stock.

The BAD tool is the only tool you will ever need. I know it is expensive but well worth it in my opinion!
Just do not take it in your carry on luggage at the airport, it will cause you problems !
I know ,I was detained and ask what it was .
A "tool".
 
it is not recommended to actually use the supplied cleaning equipment in your m14 type rifle's buttstock. I toss them all but the chamber brush and combo tool,,,,, which i do not see in your picture... maybe hiding in the canvas tube the cleaning rods are supposed to be in? You are FAR better off using modern, one piece cleaning rod kits with brass brushes and plastic patch tip. The cleaning rod set up that comes with the rifles is meant for the battle field where having proper cleaning tools is not practical.
I use a M1Garand tool with chamber brush and I clean the bore with a bore snake type cleaning tool.

Reason being..... and this is straight from the Jerry Kuhnhaussen shop manual, the supplied multi piece steel cleaning apparatus is VERY prone to scratching the hell out of your bore and more importantly damages the crown with ease.
 
Yeah the black plastic cylinder contains grease and a small applicator. The canvas tube in the photo is empty, as it contained the cleaning rod. Interestingly enough, the little door does not shut properly with the canvas and rods inserted in the stock. It sort of has to be forced and even then, does not close fully.
Anyways, I haven't used that rod nor do I intend to, as I have a bore snake and will look into proper cleaning tools for down the line.
I'd like to track down a proper stripping tool though.
 
I never use the original steel cleaning rods with any of my MilSurps-that's just asking for a scratched up bore. Instead I use a teflon coated bore rod or an Otis pull through.
 
interesting...in the military we only ever used cleaning rods very similar to the ones found in the M14. this was both in field and in garrison. never heard anyting about damage to barrel. :)

you need to re-stack the rods properly, then the pulltab gets folded down, - you should have the jag and a brush stacked on one another, and then gets inserted into the stock- or they made the well a little too short- recruits used to have the same problem with the usgi models- the one that contains the combo tool is too short period- while you can fit the combo tool, and "oiler" in there, when you fit the ratchet brush( which SHOULD come in the kit, but doesn't it's too short a well
as far as "proper " cleaning tools go, you need to get a SPARE combo tool m an M14 RATCHET BRUSH, and a one piece rod- i use a dewey- 28 caliber- that's if you WANT to leave your buttstock kit intact- if you're really cheap( and who isn't) use the buttstock kit, but when it comes to using the rod and jag, that's where you get out your aftermarket- other than that, you can use a 45 caliber rifle brush to clean the chamber, with a short section of cleaning rod with a hole drilled in the side to make a 90 degree turn if you look at how the ratchet brush is used, you'll see how- :

Would you have cared if you had heard? Gov't issue rifle designed to kill the enemy. I don't remember worrying to much as long as it kept shooting down range. Long life? Well, I wasn't going to be shooting down range much longer so who cares.

That's the philosophy. Kill people and when it wears out, throw it away and get a new one.
