Anyone know what these tools are for????

[c3006]

I got these tools at the estate sale of a custom riflesmith and cant figure them out. The big one looks like a drill jig for somthing and the cyl. looks like a gauge to measure the necks of cases but I really have no idea. Thanks for any help. c

The last two are barrel stubs with the reamer ran in part way. Used to determine initial bullet seating depths and to measure bumping the shoulders back when full length resizing. One each in 219 Donaldson Wasp and 22-250.

Don't have a clue on the other tool. 50 cal. something or other?

I have been thinking about a similar cyl. tool that I got from c3006 along with a reamer. Caliber is 6mm VT Turbo. My tool is not for measuring shoulder bump or seating depth. There is no shoulder or rifling in the internals of my tool. A fired case will go in the tool to a depth where the body/shoulder junction is flush with the top of the tool(side opposite caliber marking) and the base of the fired case protrudes approx. 0.2 inches out the bottom of the tool. It appears the smith ran the chamber reamer in approx. 3/8 inch short of the base of the case being flush with the bottom of the tool. The tool happens to fit in a Wilson base. I believe what the smith made is possibly a die to size the case body using an arbor style press. The 6mm VTT essentially does not change the body taper of the parent 222Rem. A new 222 case will fit flush in the tool.

I bought a used SPEEDCO 6mm BR rifle that included a chamber gauge and a sheet of instructions. The instructions page was not in good condition, but some is readable. See attached.

If anyone knows where there is a good clean copy of the instructions, I would appreciate it if they would share.

Thanks,

The first looks like a drill guide with center to center dimensions for a Forster sight fixture, these were common for gunsmiths who sporterized military rifles and other rifles not drilled and tapped for scope mounting. Forster fixtures are also used to drill and tap rifle and shotgun barrels for open sights.
I use my Forster fixture to hold barreled actions in my New Hermes Engravograph.
I hope this helps.
