Dear Editor,
Some of the gages repairers use in their work are very precise
-and very
expensive. Often there is no good, ready-made way to store or transport
them.
We make sure our gages stay
protected with a pistol case and
styrofoam. You can buy a good
pistol case at most sporting
goods stores for around $40.
Styrofoam is available at large
discount stores.
Cut
the
styrofoam
to
fit
snugly in the pistol case. Then
use a hobby knife to trace slots
in the styrofoam for each gage.
Write the gage’s name on the
styrofoam below each gage.
Now you’ll be able to safely
transport the gages and quickly
find them when needed.

Editor’s note:
We gage your suggestion
to be a good one.
Thanks.

Gaging the Right Protection
the fn 303
launcher is
supposed
to be a
non-lethal
firing
device.
but it can
become
lethal if
you forget
a couple
of safety
rules…
never mess with the
regulator lock nut.
never aim the fn 303
at somebody’s neck
or head.
if an fn 303 projectile
hits a person in the neck
or head, it can injure
and even kill him.
that can increase the
velocity of the fn 303’s
projectile enough that
it can kill somebody.
if you have questions
about how to use and
maintain the fn 303, see
tm 9-1095-212-13&p.
it’s on the etm website:

Pistol case and styrofoam protect gages
and make gages easy to locate
uh-oh!
I think
I’ve lost
that bore
gage.
this isn’t
going to
make the
co happy.
here’s a way
to make sure
you
don’t
lose your
expensive
gages!
