    Military GO and NOGO gages have the extraction groove intact, they are not rebated like the military FIELD gage is.

    There must be some other ones out there then, because every no-go gauge I've ever seen looks exactly like that "Field" gauge pictured.

    The military does not use a "No Go" or "Go" gage for the M16 family of weapons. They use a "Field" gage only.

    GTifosi,

    Yes, the gage you are showing is the military "Field" headspace gage.

    No, unit armorers use FIELD gages, higher echelons are issued full sets of gages. Want the NSNs for the gages? The dimensions? The prints?

    Correct. We are in between depot-level and unit level maintenance (sub-depot level).

    Yes please, and any TM’s that covers the use of them.

    Unit armorers are not authorized to use any gages.

    True, the FIELD gage comes in even farther up the line.


    I don't have time to type all this out again after more than ten years of putting out the same information online. Here's some pics.

    Yes. USAF Combat Arms Specialist. The only thing we don't repair are receivers. They go to Anniston or the AF Gunsmith Shop at Lackland. PS: Thanks for the pages from the TO (or TM for the Army)...
