Safety First 09/03/2017
I purchase this Gauge after trying to locate a gunsmith near where I lived and worked to check the head space on my AR build. It was cheaper than a 2-3 hour drive and it work as it was designed.

Great tool for checking headspace 07/03/2016
I am new into building AR-15's. They are very easy to build and are like adult Lego's for me. It was suggested that I have an extra bolt carrier as a spare if you shoot a lot. So I assembled my bolt carrier with the Adam Arms Piston Bolt carrier and I used the BCM Bolt. To be safe and be certain there would be no bolt/bolt carrier failure, I wanted to make sure my head space was correct. I bought the Brownells Bolt Extractor tool (read review) and used the Go/No-Go units. They worked flawlessly. It took less than 30 seconds for each procedure. I know I can use the spare with no issues and not have to worry about head space. This is a must tool for peace of mind!

Hard to read identification on tool 06/03/2016
Identification should be engraved on tool. Ink is too light. I bought a go gauge and a no-go gauge. The ink on both tools is hard to read. Neither came with any instructions

Gauge Identification 03/03/2016
Gauge identification is not the best. Barely readable. Clymer should engrave the identification what the tool is into the body or head. These are my first and only set of headspace gauges. So I will know that they are 5.56. But to make sure not to confuse them. I will get some red and green paint and paint the ring in front of the head. Green for go gauge, Red for no-go gauge. I did not mic them yet. The identification ink is the only problem I've seen.

Good product, no extractor cutout. 09/07/2010
I have to give it a good review because it's my fault. The extractor on my mosin nagant 91/30 absolutely won't budge. The go works fine but the no go obviously won't seat correctly without the removal of the extractor. Both (go and no go) look like fine tools but I can't rate them so much as I can say you DON'T have to remove the firing pin you DO have to remove the extractor so make sure you can do that before ordering them.
