Garand Throat Erosion and Muzzle Wear Gauges by Stone Ax

I just bought one and it works. $52 delivered and its results mostly duplicate (but, in some cases, invalidate) the measurements on my CMP Garands' blue armorer's tags.

you will find that it does not always match what the CMP tag states. Many times the CMP tag will read wear is worse than it actually is

That's what I found, also. About one out of every five CMP blue tags that I checked is incorrect, on one or both of the bore measurements, both over and under. Most of the time (80%) my gauge confirms the CMP figure exactly, so it's not my gauge that's off.
