Ive got one, and Ive used it, but I was under the impression (and conclusion from unfortunate experience) that the Field Test Bolt is the same as using good normal bolt with a "Field" gage (normally three gages - "GO", "NO GO" & "FIELD"). It was last year and I was chambering a couple NOS A3 barrels and made the mistake of using the Field Test Bolt AND a "GO" gage and cut until the bolt closed on the "GO" gage! Results...2 ruined barrels chambered too deeply which closed when using a good bolt and the "Field" gage!
