"Rifle Gun Up-Keep" by Jim Webb and Larry Callahan

The tool pouch is made by Jim Webb.  Jim also crafted the three-way turnscrew, picker, tight twist patch worm, flat twist tow worm, and the ball screw.  The picker also serves as a cross-bar for the ball puller, should it become stuck on the ramrod tip.  Larry Callahan made the combination two-way turnscrew/vent pick/flint knapper.
