I bought a small lot of tools off FB marketplace and there’s a few things in there I can’t ID. The bigger wrench appears to be some sort of action wrench but I can’t figure out what. The tube wrench has 4 notches in the end- I’ve seen something like it before but can’t place it. Metal square with two pins is marked M16- I think it’s for trigger work? The other two things I have no idea!Attached File

I have no idea, but I would like a closer look and a private moment with that square thingy in the middle...

Looks like an action wrench for a Garand? M1a?

The plate with the two pins is probably a fixture to check/adjust the fit between the M16/AR15 hammer and trigger.  The long road with the four protrusions may be a HK G36 barrel nut tool.  I don't really get the size/scale of it, from the photo.  So, I may be way off.

The square piece with the 3 holes, is that a drill jig for proper placement of the 3rd pin?

It’s not- that’s what I originally thought thought when I saw the pics. Too big. I think it’s a to check engagement like someone else said on a trigger set

Last photo, upper left hand: they're for setting the liner in an M1 Garand upper hand guard.
