    I just snap the gauge under the ejector and slide the carrier into the receiver.
    The gauge comes right back out afterwards.
    I'll try that.

    You do need to pull the ejector though, or grind a little slot in the base of the gauge to clear the ejector plunger.

    If your rifle will accept that gauge, the bolt or barrel or both are worn out and should be replaced.

    Short of owning that gauge, any 1.473" or 1.474" can be used as a maximum length.

    Randall...Thank You Sir...that is what I was looking for...and thank you for all the additional information...it really helped...
