What is this thing?

[KB0VSO]

This came with a scale I ordered on eBay. The seller did not know
what it was and just put it in with the scale

Hmmmm...I can't say I've ever seen this on a scale??
Could just be a Doo-Dad.

What type and make is the scale, that would help?

Nah, that's not a doo-Dad

It's a thing-a-ma-jig.

 

[noylj]

Not for a scale. One end appear to have a 0.250" diameter end and the other is a 0.310" end. Barrel land check tool?
Brownness' might know what it is.

Clearly it is a Kaniffiling pin

Could be a "pin" gage with multiple pins. However the scribling doesn't seem to match the apparent sizes.

 

[RugerOldArmy]

To me, it looks like a mandrel, but the size makes that puzzling.

 

[moxie]

If the smaller pin(s) are spring loaded, it might be a chuck adapter of some sort.

 

[RugerOldArmy]

Silly question: Is it part of the scale? Does your scale work?

What kind of scale is it?

 

[Lethal rx7]

Gauge for shotgun shells...???

 

[KZinOKC]

Is this a Go/No-go gauge?

 

[fguffey]

I have gages that are made like the part in the picture. They are old enough to be called 'go-not go' as in will go and will not go. The end with the two diameters could be used for alignment.

Check weight?

Any chance you can post a picture of the ones you have?

More information about it

the center peace has the number 16 stamped in it

on the center peace someone printed 153" & 310" with a arrow pointing at the stepped end

250" is printed on it and an arrow is pointing at the other end.

Also the center peace has a set screw in it so the center will slide
up and down on the center peace.

Gesundheit, I got nothing.

Go-No Go gauge for die cast parts? For testing two different holes at a set depth? I don't know.

 

[Twiki357]

I was going to say that it’s a “go – no go” gauge, but .250 to .310 is to big a range. Could be go – no go for depth (Case length gauge?). Or it may not have anything to do with firearms.

 

[H&R Glock]

Could be a bra strap tension gauge known as a "perfondulator"

 

[n6yga]

Clearly it is a Kreedusfram!

Looks like a flux capacitor

Oh, heck, why not.
