This has been posted some time ago but some may have missed it. Worth another look. I just noticed a Marine using headspace gages. Look close, near end where cleaning rifles on table, right after shot of Marine cleaning bore with barracks rod. Enjoy

That was good. I'd love to go through the "junk" pile out back. I wouldn't leave anything. Note, even though working with volatile mineral spirits or God knows what cleaning solution in the cans on the bench, one man had a smoke going. Reminds me of the old days.
Speaking of "old" I didn't see one pair of eye glases in that crowd. I can't even read my drawing numbers without them now...
