What about 7.62x39 headspace gauges?
 

Anyone know of a good deal on these? Or can I rent some from someone? Or a group buy?

Hey DarkKnight:
I bought a 7.62x39 Go and NoGo gauge as part of the last group buy. I haven't even broken down my kits yet so...
When will you need the gauges and for how long?

hmm
 

Good question, I'm trying to do some builds here now. I'm guessing if I do need them i would borrow them for a couple of days in a month or so from now.

How much were they in the group buy? I missed that one...

Terry,

Where in NC are you? I'm in Lumberton.

DarkKnight:
Sources are out there, The last group buy was about the same as the normal Manson prices (http://www.mansonreamers.com/): $26 per gauge and $3.85 priority mail shipping. I felt that building 5 kits I would keep the gauges around...

Other sources are listed below if you want to buy them.

If asked about which type you desire, choose the "Euro" and not the SAAMI type. The Euro type is the military usage. SAAMI will be much more tight and less forgiving. This is similar to the 5.56 vs .223 issues.
