lksopener Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Hello chaps, just picked up this wonderful cleaning kit. Could anyone tell me the purpose of the silver tools? I know the snap caps but what is the little silver pot for? It has what looks like a turn key when you unscrew it. The other tool tool I have no idea. Maybe you can help me?

clumber Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 The tool on the right is a cartridge extractor. Removing swollen paper cased cartridges when stuck in the chambers. The pot is a oil bottle, the 'turn key' you refer to is for putting a drop of oil where you want it. Thus named a Dropper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Boggy Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 That's a nice kit. Not often that you get a cartridge extractor included in kits these days. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OB Yep it baffled me, never seen one before. Must have been sat in storage for quite some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vintage cartridge extractors have become quite collectible. Even more so, if they are a well known make. I have a couple in 16g and one in 12g.
