If you are interested in the combination tools used with the various patterns of Enfields (long, short, cavalry, private and sergeants versions) find a copy of Arms Gazette Vol. 11 Number 3 November 1974. Title: British Military Combination Tools 1842-1862 by D.W. Bailey. He has line drawings of the tools used with Brunswick and Minie rifle and photos of the different Enfield tools. He covers the history and pros and cons of each one. It shows some of the tools disassembled so you can see the components like the worm, bullet screw etc. Arms Gazette is no longer being published. If I can scan and post I'll do so. If not, you may need to request it inter-library loan or maybe find it on line.
