Who do we like for go / no go gauges?

1

I’ve got a couple of prefit barrels inbound, but it’s going to be months before they get here. I’m going ahead and starting picking up some of the extra things like action wrenches, Etc

How about for the go/no-go gauges? Is there one or more companies that just stand out Above the Rest for making the best?

Speaking of barrels and waiting, who makes good barrels that don’t have a really long wait time? The shortest I’ve seen has been 12 weeks

Forster gauges worked well for my project

I got a custom prefit 338 Norma for a kelbly action in 6-7 weeks from Patriot Valley arms. I haven’t shot it yet but I’ve heard good things. I’ve used mcgowen in the past. Their wait is longer but their barrels shoot well. I think for headspace gauges the only thing I’d mention is if you go with PTG, try to order from a third party like midway, grizzly, etc that has them in stock. If you order directly from PTG, the lead time can be unpredictable.

Forster and PTG (Pacific Tool & Gauge) are the two primary vendors that I have used for gauges.

I forgot ro mention Barrels - OUTLIER USA I’m going to get 1 of their chassis and barrels for my spare Howa SA. I’ve seen several reviews including Mountains, Mullets, and Merica that spoke well of them…

I do NOT recommend the Outlier chassis. It is garbage. Worst chassis I’ve used. Bendy forend, really bad 3d prints. Came just with all the parts tossed in a UPs box with no directions or packaging or anything.
