303 H/S gauges

[CINDERS]

Seems that its a pain to get headspace gauges in Australia.

I had a machinist mate turn up 3 brass ones all for a carton of beer I have him an empty case so he could get the taper.(They are within +- .000.5")
He made me up 3 see pic .064" - .067" - .074" don't ask about the .067" one you only need 2 .064 & .074 forget the .070 as thats what the good folk here on this site say from experience.
I always drop the mag & feed the gauge up under the extractor claw rather than putting it into the chamber and forcing the claw over the rim saves the claw & stops damaging the brass as well.
