I have either misplaced or flat out lost my 7.62 Okie Headspace Gauge. I found my .303 but the 7.62 wasn't with it. So the only way to find it is to buy a new one. Now my problem, I tried doing a search on headspace gauge and got over 700 returns. So I have to bother the readership, is there a board approved source for headspace gauges that sells them here or elsewhere ? Any help appreciated.

I am told nobody is making this gauge, Okie passed away and the fire guy who was copying him seems to also be gone. I did see some Soviet bullet type gauges for sale on eBay the other day. You would have to remove the extractor to use these.

Thanks Boss. I knew that Okie passed some time back. His products were so simple even I could use them. Maybe I'll find mine someday. I used it on all of my M-N but my pre 1900 unit hasn't been checked. Figure it better be checked out of all of them.
