260/308 Headspace Gauges

[Colohunter]

I have a 260 Remington barrel on order for a Remage conversion. I was able to order all of the tools, except for the go and no-go gauges. Those were back ordered from pretty much everywhere. I have them backordered from Forster, but will be getting all of my other parts sometime this week. I was wondering if anyone had a set a gauges that you would be able to loan, or wanted to sell. I'm hoping to get this build ready to go in time for Breakneck in April.

I've got a full set of .308 gauges. Not looking to sell but you could borrow them. Shoot me a PM.

I would stay away from Forster. I had a 308 set made by Forster and they were on the small side. The go gauge was probably .002-.003 shorter than clymer or Manson gauges. I switched everything to Manson and have zero problems

If you still want to buy, try Pacific Tool and Gauge (http://pacifictoolandgauge.com/).

They usually keep at lest the standard calibers in stock.

I found someone that is loaning me a set for now, but I will still try to get a set of my own. I will definitely check out the other companies mentioned. Thanks guys, and thanks to longrange2. He was all set to loan me a set until someone else right by my work offered.

Ended up borrowing the gages from someone at work that had them and installed the barrel. I shot it at the Battle of Breakneck and the local Cheyenne Mountain precision match.
