My build has a 5.56 chamber, my bolt is a Stag . I noticed while looking for gauges, they sell both 5.56 and 223. Do i need both, or just the 5.56? I'm assuming I'll be GTG with 223 if the 5.56 gauge is a go?

Really? Nobody else's expertise on this subject?
Have some patience hotshot.
If you look at the specs you'll see there is a difference .
On the no go the 5.56 is .0036 bigger
Field gauge is 556 is .03 bigger.
Go gauge for mill is .0006 bigger also .
In reality it don't matter if you in that .0006 or .003 difference on head space you on the extrem ends of the Max .
I've used a .223 gauges to head space one of my aks with a 556 chamber
