Thanks for posting this. I just bought a set too.

You're welcome. The set arrived on Friday, man its huge. I had figured it would be something like 8x8" or so; its the size of a cordless drill case.

I've been meaning to get a set for a few years, to check the bores on Milsurps and the throats on revolvers, just never got around to it. Getting a FAL kit finally pushed me over the edge.

Jim- Thanks for the link. Just ordered a set, too.

I guess I'm going to have a big pile of extra pins that I won't need.

That was fast- UPS just dropped off the pins.

The picture that Grizzly has at the link isn't correct. This set has twice as many pins in it and the case is the size of a briefcase. Pins look good. Sizes are etched on them. Case is better than the usual and nothing rattles around.

I needed these for my FAL build, so there are many extra sizes. Besides Jim's idea of checking bore sizes, does anyone have some suggestions for uses for the extra pins?

I just got mine too. Now I gotta figure out what I need them for.

It is a good looking set, but you're right, that photo is from one of the 125 pin sets.

Suggestions for uses of the xtra pins? Uhh, you could always drill holes in them and use them as sliding sinkers for your fishing line. Or, you could go find yourself a big steel ball bearing and set up a miniature bowling alley for your GI Joes.
