[QUOTE="fguffey, post: 1873034, member: 113511"] It is possible, it is not a problem but the ones I have used have a problem turning when the bolt is closed so some kind of a friction devise is necessary. I have 5 very small Starrett inside micrometers that are designed to be installed/fixed on one end and adjustable on the other. It would be easy to modify the micrometer. And then there are many ways to check the length of a chamber but no matter where I go there are those that insist it can not be done. Again, I have a 3 grinders, 2 wet and one dry. There is nothing I can do about it but I can grind pilots, long tappers, angles and as if that is not enough the grinder will grind to length. If I could get someone to think about it gages can be made on all three grinders. Head space (length of the chamber) can be checked at least three different ways without a head space gage. F.
