[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1924979, member: 38048"] I don't know why you would say that a no-go is only for custom Chambers. I don't know one smith that owns a field guage. I don't own a field guage. Any smith worth his salt can do a chamber and be within the go and no-go tollerence. If I can't hit that spec between 0 and . 003 then I really screwed up. Sammi should just burn that spec sheet for field guages it's just sloppy. The only purpose I see for them are old military rifles. I don't work on the old military rifles anymore. But every smith I know and myself feel that if your bolt closes on the no-go it's too deep. Doesn't matter if it's a basic 308 or a 6br or 280 or 280AI. Custom chamber has nothing to do with it. Custom barrel or rechambered factory barrel has nothing to do with it. You hit the spec or you don't. Shep [/QUOTE]
