- Christopher,
- My understanding would tell me that the above sentence is a non-sequitur
- and may be a typo. A new rifle should accept (bolt closes on) a "go" gauge.
- A used rifle may accept a "no-go" gauge. Neither should accept a "field"
- gauge. The gauge lengths increase from "go" -> "no-go" -> "field". If you
- are going shopping and can only take one gauge, make it the "field".
