- This video from norwich93cmp is the M1 Garand Cleaning Kit Types & Storage. Reviewed are all the kits from the earliest versions to the latest version as well as tools assigned to a soldier for maintenance.
This is the best video of all on the history of the M1 cleaning kits on RUclips. If you pay attention, you'll be able to purchase authentic new old USGI issue gear and have the cleaning kit of your chosen time period.
Thanks for the high praise!
Just got my first garand! This is the video I was looking for! I want my m1 to be complete and you went above and beyond for the viewers! I appreciate this!
Great to hear that!!!
@@norwich93CMPI second that. I haven’t received mine yet but it is ordered. I can’t wait to get my hands on it, but in the meantime I’m looking for a cleaning kit and now I know which one to look for! I also need to get me a proper sling. It’s a SA 1943, not sure if I need a leather or a webbing sling. Thanks for the awesome video!
Awesome job! Very handy for those of us young enough to owe everything to those who had to use this to defend our freedom!
Thank you and I agree!
You went above and beyond to make this video....thank you for the information!
Thank you very much for the comment!!!
I’m thinking the exact thing! Extremely knowledgeable
Thanks man. Just bought a original cleaning kit (that because of you I now know is from the 50’s) for my old warhorse from 49’ and you saved me the trouble of finding out what’s the right way to put the cleaning rods in.
That is awesome!
Very nicely done! I love the cut-away from a broken stock. Perfect. I get these questions all the time and you answered it in one video, less than 9 mins. Collectors want the cleaning kit that is correct for their rifles, and shooters want the best kits to clean their guns. You knocked it outa the park!
Thank you so much for your comment, it means a lot.
Norwich Thank's AGAIN !! your the best .
Thanks Steve O!
This video helped a lot, thanks
Glad to hear it!
My Dad showed me this 60+yrs ago. My M-1 has it's buttstock stuffed with cleaning rod and combo oil/grease. The tool is stored in My USMC cartridge belt.
Super informative! Answered all my questions! Thank you!
Glad to hear it!! Thank you!!
Excellent video.
Thank you very much!!!!!!
Thanks Norwich again for a fine informational video! Love the stock cut out demo, perfect idea - followed your directions and now have mine all packed in!
Great to hear!
Brilliant...well done.
Thank you very much!!
Good subject! Not one I've seen coverd before.
I lucked in to a few nickle plated tubes and happy they were early types and applied correctly.
I also got a few plastic with yellow caps and thrilled they also apply to my ww2 Garands.
I bought boxes of dark grease pots cheap before opportunist started charging crazy money for them.
I refill them with lubriplate for show but like the scent of dark grease in the rifle.
Nice to hear!!!!!
Real nice video. Real good information. I like the earlier items better, although the later cleaning supplies can do a better cleaning job.
I agree with you. Neat to see the eras of change.
Your video near the end confused me so i looked it up and this is what i found. The M10 cleaning rods where not stored with the M3 series tool. The rods where stored with the M10 handle which was also the tool. The rods /bore brush/patch tip and pouch go in the top hole with grease pot. The M10 handle goes in one end of the plastic oil bottle and sits in the bottom hole. The separate chamber brush is stored in the pack or pocket.
Great info thank you
You're welcome.
Good job thank you happy new year
Same to you!!!!
Interesting... I’ve owned my Garand since 1988.
But I’ve never bought a butt stock kit.
Enjoyed this video.
Good stuff.👍
Thank you!!
Finally getting my first m1, glad people are making vids like this!
Glad to hear it!
Great video and stock cut away! Thanks!
You're welcome!
Awesome info. Thank you so much for the clarification. I unfortunately jammed my cleaning kit in and we'll have to figure out how to get it out without damaging the stock.
Take the stock off the rifle. Tap on a block off set the trap door and hopefully the weight of it pulls it out.
Try a coat hanger with a hook...
Thank you for posting this good video, very informative and interesting.
Glad to hear that.
Great video, Awesome setup with the cut away stock!
Thanks. Made on Covid time :)
Super informative video. Would like to get my hands on one of the nickel tubes.
Thank you, and they are out there.
That yellow grease was at one time, was a white Lithium grease.
Thanks for making this! Good stuff!
Great job explaining !
Glad it was helpful and thanks.
Wow! Excellent job
Thank you very much!
The cleaning thong cords are age rotted, a substitute can be made with the cleaning thong cord from a French MAS 49/56 rifle. The French cord is either knotted or metal stapled to the French thong metal bits. Unknot the gi cord end, noting the way the knot was done. Unknown or clip off the French woven cord, knot on the usgi thong piece. A bit of superglue on the tip keeps it from unraveling. Stretch out the cords, cut the French cord to length, knot up, treat the tip. You now have a cleaning thong for demonstrating. Another usgi thong for display. Another tip. The chamber brush combo tool, the brush bit, is held in by a captive pin, press and drive it out, the brush can be removed. Gunparts corp sells repop ones, either nylon or bronze bristles. Slide in, orientated hole, drive pin back in to secure. Some of the older pins will fall out.
Or use USGI 550 cord.
Great job. Thank you!
Thank you too!
Thinks for the info. I'm missing the tubes
Excellent video on learning about the cleaning kits of the M1 very informative thanks so much!
Your very welcome!!!
Thank you very much for the information and the video.
You're very welcome!
Good info. I learned a few things. 💪🏻🇺🇸👍🏻
Nice to hear that!!
@@norwich93CMP I need a kit. Been looking on eBay. Do you know a site that sells a decent one? An original preferably
Thanks for doing the video I know now more than I ever did. All in one video 😊
Nice!!!
Excellent video!!
Glad you liked it!
Hey. Big question: I saw you had the m10 combo tool on your table along with the slender barrel brush the jag and the 5 piece cleaning rod. Does all of that fit in the canvas bag or is the M10 tool inserted into the butt stock separately. I can’t get it all in the green bag!!!!
M10 goes in one end of the plastic insert. Only the rods and tip will fit in the bag.
Excellent..thank you...
Very good, thanks!!!
Good video, thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Good stuff. Thank you
Thank you!!
Thank you for this information!
Great video, very informative!
Thank you!
What a great video; well done on that buttstock!
Thanks for watching it!!!
I have one of the clear oilers with the yellow caps, the m10 tool won't fit inside. Not sure if the oiler size was changed or what the deal is as the oiler seems quite old and had alot of staining and old oil in it, the m10 tool seems original as well. Any thoughts?
M10 tool is post war. Yellow capped oiler was 1/2 for oil and the other side for the pull through thong and brush. This was issued mid-war through the 1950s.
Good video but! I may be abit slow here but what all would I use if I where trying to use a 1942 set up? Thanks!
An early cleaning tool and nickel oiler with pull-through throng.
@@norwich93CMP so the cleaning rod and grease pot with a nickel oiler?
Thank you for the informative lecture and the sharp visual aid. My only question is where does the M10 tool go, or did I snooze in class? thank~!
The M10 came later and would go into one 1/2 of the plastic oiler. oppisite of the oil.
So, where does the M10 tool fit in with this?.....I may have been the one that inspired this vid, great response, thanks guy.
It's in the clear plastic tube, third tube away from the camera.
@@norwich93CMP Thanks, I found that out from watching another vid I stumbled across.....Am I correct in thinking that the M10/ cleaning rod set up is not used in combination with that combo tool/ chamber brush thingy?
@@winfieldjohnson125 Yes they are used together. The tool is independant from the barrel cleaning items.
@@norwich93CMP Ok, now I'm confused; there would not seem to be room to stow the M10/oiler container, the cleaning rod kit, and that larger combo tool/ chamber brush all in the buttstock compartment.......Sorry if I seem a bit thick here, but I'm having trouble figuring out whether the M10 and the larger combo tool/chamber brush are part of the same kit.
@@winfieldjohnson125 The M10 tool is just the handle which is used with the cleaning rod sections. The tool with chamber brush is separate and does not come together. There are rod sections, late post-war, still available new in the wrappers and does not include the tool, and never did so you have to buy both. (Your not thick!, good question)
Where does the "mustache brush" fit in to the mix?
Stuff it in if it fits somewhere, if not it would go into the pack, bandoleer, or someplace handy.
I was using the ratchet brush for the Chamber but once in it gets stuck. How do you remove it properly?
I assume stuck in the chamber. Back it out while twisting at the same time. It may take a little more force to recurve the splines the was needed to back it out.
When did the clear oiler start being used?
Clear oiler with yellow caps was introduced mid-WWII timeframe. Claer caps is M14.
I should have said 4 piece rod and I should have Referred to the combo tool as the cleaning rod handle. Anyway my question is: does all that go in the canvas pouch?
M10 tool goes in the plastic oiler insert and the rod with tip go in the canvas bag.
Cigar on bottom or top?
For cleaning kits, not a humidor!! Depends on length of cut and other accessories. Best place is where the door barely closes.
Your name being Norwich 93... Did you attend the Norwich University in Vermont?
Yes Sir, class of 1993!!
@@norwich93CMP I went there for my first year of college on the civilian campus. I had attended Valley Forge Military Academy for 4 years Class of 87. My senior year I was home on Thanksgiving leave. Thanksgiving day I was hit by a drunken driver. I suffered a spinal injury and herniated L3&L4 discs. I was trying to get my commission in the Marine Corps, but that injury I was screwed. I went to Norwich to try and still get in but alas it wasn't to be. After 88-89 I finally realized I was never going to be able to get in, so then left to go to Weidener University in PA. I had a good friend that was there all 4 years and he went into the USMC. He did 2 tour in Iraq. His name is Mark Stainbrook. Maybe you know him. Good luck and good health.
I wish you would have shown the kit sets per years. You started to mention it and jumped right over it after you said the plastic tube was was used in 1942. You didn’t say which tool went with which tubes.
There was only one tool until the 1950s when it changed to the wired brush.
norwich93CMP You said there were several designs. So which designs go to which years?
@@mikea.2306 I don't have exact years. Any sets would do unless your reenacting. You have to remember even though you may have an early gun in would be ok to have a late set to replace old ones. But usually later guns would have the later sets.
