    The Australians had a different set of Specs for their headspace gauges:-

    1.6325 inch (ACCEPT)

    1.6380 inch (REJECT)

    1.6400 inch (CONDEMNING)

    The gauges are laid out as above.

    From Left to Right:
    Original Mk. 1 Gauges.

    Modified Mk. 1 Gauge (1.6400). The rims were removed to stop them being damaged when someone leaves the extractor in.

    Later 'stepped' gauges I guess they would be called the Mk. 2? Although I haven't found anything official calling them the mark 2 gauge.
