Who are some of the market leaders in caliper and micrometer manufacturing?
I'm interested in knowing who some of the larger manufacturers of calipers and micrometers are. I know that Mitutoyo, Starrett, Brown & Sharpe, and Mahr are all big, but who are some others?
moore & wright perhaps but you've really got all the big names already

Inside Micrometer

I have a 1917 Eddystone Rifle. It is sporterized, and I was told by 2 of my local gun shops that it is 30.06.?
This is probably a dumb question, but I am new to rifles. So I purchased a box of 30.06 rounds. The bullet portion of the round looks bigger that the hole in the end of the barrel, so i stuck the bullet in to the tip of the barrel and I can't even get the whole bullet portion of the the round to fit into it. Is this normal or has the caliber been changed when the gun was sporterized? I used a micrometer and measured the inside of the barrel and it measures .302 inches. the bullet measures .306 inches. I appreciate any help I can get.
Gavins, this was not a dumb question at all. But as a gunsmith of over 30 years experience, the best thing to do with ANY rifle (or handgun), of which you are not familiar, is to take it to a gunsmith before doing anything with it. There were so many sporterized military rifles that were altered (they cost only a few dollars back then), that you cannot be certain what was or was not done to that rifle. Because caliber is not your only concern. You also need to know if the head space (the correct pressure against the cartridge inside the chamber when the bolt is closed), is correct for the cartridge it actually fires. Improper head space can result in massive over pressures against the bolt's locking lugs, causing a possible blow out (as well as myriad other nastiness).
Hope this helps
