WTB - 30-06 field gauge

[ntd34]

been trying for a while to locate a notched 30 06 field gauge. I know USGI types were compatable to not having to strip the bolt but there seems to be none available..Can anyone help?Thanks

Thanks, did but price to high...$195

That price was for the field test bolt. I think the HS gauges were $75 ea (provided he has the length you want).

Notch your own standard gage. I did it with mine using a cut off wheel in a dremel tool. Took standard gages and ground out an ejector notch and removed some of the rim to clear the extractor. You aren't changing the overall length by doing that.

M1Riflenut, Sorry not to thank you earlier for the suggestion but no dremmel and not really adept at that type of metal work..

Take it to any machine shop and let them do it. I did the same thing with my gages so I don't have to disassemble the bolt. If you have no shops close, send the gages to me and I'll do it. I own a machine shop. Real easy fix.

I have a US GI field gage in excellent condition. It can be yours for $25 delivered.
