    FYI- I was not a unit armorer and I have done GS/DS level work. We still did not have the gages. The only gages we had are the ones outlined in 9-1005-319-23&P. Is it possible that the info is dated?

    I am going to see if I can locate my POC for TACOM and check with him.

    I have to eat some crow here. Apparently while I was on my last deployment, our gages went in for their PMEL (calibration) inspection and failed calibration. When the shop ordered replacement gages, the only gage that came was the field gage. My guys were told we are no longer authorized "Go" and "No-Go" gages.

    Mmm, the humble pie tastes great...

    I may be wrong, but I believe that those gages were phased out for all services across the board and the only authorized one is the ''Field'' gage. I am waiting for a response from RI.

    Where can you get a turned down field gauge? Since I have four uppers, I'm thinking one in the tool box might not be a bad idea.

    billricca.com was selling the real deal. The website says that he is currently out of them.

    Rumor has it that there will be some gage sets hitting the market soon.

    Email him. The website may not be up to date. I got one a few weeks ago that way, although it may have been the only one had in stock at the time.

    I have plenty of gages already. I was posting that for the benefit of others.
