I used this to check Colt SAA 1st Gen 14/07/2018
1st Gen Colt SAA checked out OK with this gauge. Works as advertised. Had to remove cylinder to get the gauge out, since it would not rotate into recoil plate.

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.

Good Gauge 09/03/2017
Good Gauge, Good Value. The identification on the gauge is not easily readable, but it should be kept in its well labeled case like any precision gauge.

The gentleman who wrote the 1st review: You must remove the extractor. So make sure you have a replacement for the part the extractor is in. I broke mine trying to get it out. Instead of removing the extractor, I cut a slot in the gauge for the extractor to pass over. Then you don't have to worry about it.

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.
