- # 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".

- Agreed, however, there is some more on this I found out recently.
- The latest military manuals and gauges use only one gauge 1.473" long.
- If the bolt closes on this it is rejected. Commercial gauges like
- Forster offer the go, no-go, field, and "absolute max" gauges.
- The current military gauge length corresponds to the "absolute max"
- Forster gauge. Field is 1.470".
