shred Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 For reference, should some dude ever come up to you in a dark alley with a trenchcoat full of case gauges, Shockbottle Blems and Refurb case gauges are marked as follows: Refurbs are stamped next to the caliber with an 'R' for Refurbished. There may be re-reaming marks in the check holes and these may have come back from a customer. The check holes are full factory-spec otherwise.Blems have factory cosmetic issues that don't affect function and never went to a customer. Generally this is minor scratches or dings on the exterior surfaces or anodizing smut. The inside of the holes should be factory-new. They are stamped with a 'B' next to the caliber. If we have any for sale, I'll post 'em in this thread. Also, every gauge is tested with real ammo before shipping, so even new gauges can have very minor handling marks-- finger smudges and the like. They'll wash off, or your first use will cover them up with your own set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shred Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 Quick update. I'm not able to keep up with current status here, so best drop a line if you're interested in something. Also, Blems and Refurbs now mostly have a spiffy lasered datamatrix code and B/R letter by the caliber to indicate the status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
