Armourers' guages.
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,

Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

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)
For info - the abbreviations are :
