Topdog Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Can anyone tell me what this is? I bought it at Beltring purely because I liked the box and the quality of the steel. Now how sad is that..... I think it is artillery based so Rob, are you there? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rog8811 Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Looks a bit like a "go no-go" gauge for a part on the gun... Try measuring the cutout on each to see if they are a thou or so different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stone Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Looks a bit like a "go no-go" gauge for a part on the gun...Try measuring the cutout on each to see if they are a thou or so different. With the same NSN they should all be identical - that would just tell you the tolerance to which they were manufactured, no? Nice looking things though Stone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Barrell Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 With the same NSN they should all be identical - that would just tell you the tolerance to which they were manufactured, no?

alan turner (RIP) Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Might be something to do with AS90. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you're correct... the 5520 part of the NSN are Inspection Gages and Precision Layout Tools... Note-Special inspection gages are included in this class. Includes Go and Not-Go Gages, including Plug, Ring, Snap, Thread, and Length Gages; Profile Gages; Fixture Gages; Special Inspection Gages.

Topdog Posted August 26, 2010 Author Share Posted August 26, 2010 Thanks for that Lee. Whatever they are, its really high grade steel. I expect they will be used in the workshop for something even if only a small anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
