Armourers' guages.

[englishman_ca]

Can anybody direct me to a reference for identifying British Armourers' gauges by their designation?

Do the designations SM418 or SM417/27 mean anything to anyone?

Apex has what are perhaps Lee Enfield bolt gauges?

Simon: I have the master list of gauges from the Portative up to and including the Bren.
Let me dig it out later tonight and I will check it for you.
You are probably having the same nice day today we are because as the crow flies you are only about 150 miles away.
Anyone who has British gauges and needs an ID let me know.
cheers,

No - I posted this some time ago and it was 'knocked back' after some discussion and discounted as not relevant.

Example : for the No4 and No5 Bolt heads (the column numbers are ever increasing level of Authority from 'front line armourer to REME Central Inspectorate)
