A friend gave me, what he called some odds and ends, that have been in a drawer forever.
Item on the right was in a package marked flash hider for a Garand, made in spain.
Shorter item next to it seems to be a shorter version of the same thing, with a muzzle brake, also made in spain. Can anyone confirm this?
On the left is a heavy duty cleaning rod, with some speialized little wrenches incorporated into the handle. This appears to also be for a Garand.
In the centre would be a chamber cleaner for a Garand, with some tools incorporated in the handle.
On the bottom is a broken shell extractor for a 303 British.
Does anyone have a clue as to what the item is on the bottom left?
Just remembered, I should buy my friend a cup of coffee!

 
The FH isn't for an M1 RIfle. The FH for an M1 fits onto the bayonet lug. The other one is an aftermarket FH for an AK type. Although, being Spanish, it might be for an HK 91/Cetme. The combo tool is an early type for an M1 Rifle. The rod isn't for an M1 either. Might be for an HK too.
Need a better picture(more angles) of the other thingy.
 
Thanks for your comments.
On the flash hider, I said it wrong. It is marked for the US M1 Carbine and it does indeed, fit the M1 Carbine perfectly. I just tried it after reading the comments. The shorter brake also has exactly the same fit to the M1 Carbine.
I just wanted to have the pieces associated with the correct rifle, because our son has taken over the M1 models, Garand and Carbine, which will never be sold and are destined to go to his son, who already has had his PAL for a few years.
It would appear that the heavy duty cleaning rod/tools is for the Garand. The heavy spade, screw driver bit, is a perfect fit on the cap of the gas chamber on the Garand.
I will take more pictures of the other thingy.
 
Here is the other "Thingy."




And here are some military oilers and oil cans that a military collect all person, had accumulated.
All except the Russian ones have cut threads on the cap.
The chamber reamer has a taper, about like a 303.
That chain on the top left is a heavy duty pull through.
Don't know what it is for, but the brush with it is 50 calibre size.
 
The two flash hiders are for the M1 Carbine. The cleaning rods and tool are for the M1 Garand. I would almost think that the other thingy is, or was a blank firing adaptor for the M1 Garand.

Thanks a lot you guys, you've been great.
Does anyone know what round one that looks like a pocket watch is?
Or, the muffin shaped one with two sides to it, or the sturdy one to the right of that one with a brush for oiling?
 
I'm pretty sure the pocket watch one is the same as the one that came with my Yugo M48 Mauser from Marstar.

Edit,

Sorry I got them backwards. The muffin double oil bottle is the Yugo M48 Mauser and the pocket watch one is the Yugo 59/66 SKS bottle. I got them both at the same time and I had to think for a minute which one came with which gun.

The top left can is German for the K-98, the pouch with the yellow cans looks Swiss. The tool looks like a Swiss chamber cleaning tool.
 
"...marked for the US M1 Carbine..." That makes more sense. The thingy(that being the technical term for all unknown stuff) isn't a BFA for an M1 Rifle though. Wouldn't be blued.
